Read MoreHide Full Article
The wholly-owned subsidiary of Granite Construction Incorporated (GVA - Free Report) — International Directional Services (IDS) — inked a deal with a mining technology company, Veracio, to transform its drill hole data analytics and elevate productivity for clients.
The partnership marks a significant step toward leveraging technology to enhance the mining process. IDS’s drill hole geological data collection, together with Veracio's minerals drilling technology solutions, will redefine the way drill hole data is collected, analyzed and utilized in the industry.
The scope of the deal includes implementing technology to improve the accuracy and quality of drill hole data analysis and providing valuable insights for mining projects. Leveraging Veracio’s growing fleet of technologies, like TruGyro and TruSub, will ensure precise and efficient drilling that will lead to better resource definition, safety and lower risks of operational errors at a lower cost.
The deal aims to elevate the level of support and satisfaction for IDS’s clients by delivering data-driven insights and solutions.
The consistent award wins have been driving GVA’s performance. The company is focused on growing a high-quality, Committed and Awarded Projects (“CAP”) portfolio on the back of a positive public funding environment and resilient private market.
