Cougar’s CDR007 drill rig, fresh from a complete overhaul at our Tomago NSW facility, is now back underground supporting methane gas drainage at Dendrobium. The overhaul extended the rig’s service life and delivered performance upgrades, ensuring reliable operation in the demanding conditions of underground coal mining. This demonstrates our capability to keep customer-owned assets performing like new.
