First in South Africa: Underground Directional Drill Rod Inners | DESA Drilling

DESA Drilling and Equipment is proud to announce that we are the first company to roll out Underground Directional Drill Rod Inners on the African continent, in collaboration with Strata Tech Australia, the original developer of this advanced technology.

This milestone represents a major step forward for underground directional drilling operations across Africa.

Developed by Strata Tech Australia – Introduced to Africa by DESA

The Macromec (Strata Tech) Underground Directional Drill Rod Inners were developed by Strata Tech Australia, a globally recognised innovator in drilling technology.

Through our strategic collaboration, DESA Drilling is proud to be the first company to introduce and distribute this technology within Africa — bringing world-class drilling innovation directly to the African mining industry.

This partnership ensures that local operations now have access to internationally developed, high-performance drilling components, supported by DESA’s on-the-ground expertise and service.

What Are Underground Directional Drill Rod Inners?

Underground directional drill rod inners play a critical role in directional drilling operations. They assist in maintaining borehole accuracy, improving drilling control, and enhancing overall drilling efficiency in underground environments.

By engineering and manufacturing these drill rod inners locally, DESA ensures:

  • Improved drilling precision
  • Increased operational efficiency
  • Enhanced durability in harsh underground conditions
  • Reduced dependency on imported components
  • Faster turnaround times for clients

Advancing Underground Drilling in Africa

  • Bringing global innovation to local mining operations

  • Strengthening underground drilling performance

  • Supporting safer and more efficient drilling practices

  • Expanding access to advanced drilling technology across the continent

Being the first to roll out this product in Africa positions DESA Drilling as a key technology partner for mining companies seeking proven, internationally developed solutions.
