Mincon also has a patented system for upsizing the pilot hole i.e reaming using similar pneumatic rock boring system called the pull reamer that can increase hole diameter from 10" to 14".

In 2002 Mincon started development of a range of steerable tools for Hardrock drilling in the Horizontal Directional Drilling Industry. The tools are specifically designed for use in medium to hard rock drilling conditions where conventional directional drilling systems offer very little to the contactor when Hardrock is encountered.

 Mincon Hardrock Hammer Systems utilize  '' High Frequency Cycle'' technology. Mincon Hardrock is the only manufacturer of Steerable Hammers that incorporate this feature. The advantages to this are as follows.

• High Frequency design aids in faster removal of drill cuttings from the bit face while providing the smallest possible chip size. This aids in keeping the borehole cleaner and reduces the possibility of getting the tool stuck.

• High Frequency design improves the steering capabilities of the tool. In head to heads tests against other competitor manufacturers the Mincon Hardrock systems out steered them in dirt, cobble and solid rock.

• High Frequency design provides less vibration to the drill string. This ensures less wear and tear to the rig and locating sonde.

• Set up to utilize any of the available locating sondes on the market the Mincon Hardrock Systems can be adapted to your existing locating equipment.

• With the Mincon Hardrock Support Pack and hosing any conventional HDD machine can be converted for rock drilling.
