We often work in the most sensitive areas of the world. Respect and understanding for the nature are the cornerstones of our operation. KATI is an acknowledged pioneer also when it comes to the environmental dimension of drilling. Already in 2004, we were found to conform to the ISO 14001 standard for environmental management, and were accredited the ISO 14001 certificate as the first drilling entrepreneur in the Nordic countries. Nature protection comes from the people, which is why our employees receive continuous training on environmental issues.

The light-tracked KATI drilling units leave hardly any marks on the ground. Naturally, the drilling sites are cleaned up after completion of the drill hole. In the machines we use exclusively biodegradable hydraulic oils. Furthermore, each drilling unit comes equipped with an oil spill limitation and cleaning equipment. We give special attention to the transport of fuels, both on the roads and in the nature. Our environmental management system requires that all the construction waste is sorted and transported to our service point in Rautio. All suitable material is recycled.
