Dynamic drop testing
Sandvik’s in-situ drop testing demonstrates true MDX bolt performance under sudden dynamic loads, including dynamic bolt testing under real rock and real installation conditions. This mobile testing service delivers the critical technical data required to confirm ground support integrity, effectively mitigating rockburst risks and ensuring long-term underground safety.
