With thousands of industry professionals gathering in one location, PDAC remains one of the most influential environments for shaping the direction of global mineral exploration and mining operations.

Carroll Technologies at PDAC 2026

At PDAC 2026, Carroll Technologies will exhibit at:

Booth 8017N: North Hall
Located near the Northern Lights Learning Hub, on the west side of the North Hall

The company will primarily attend to connect with customers, partners, and industry stakeholders rather than launch specific promotions or campaigns.

Carroll Technologies is one of North America’s largest providers of safety, communications, and operational support equipment for mining and heavy industry. The company serves approximately 2,000 customers across sectors, including mining, tunneling, steel, construction, energy, and industrial operations.

With more than 40 years of experience supporting mining and industrial projects, Carroll provides not only equipment but also installation, training, consulting, repair, and 24/7 technical support services.

In addition to Carroll Technologies’ booth, some of its partners will also be in attendance, including:

Huesker

Huesker specializes in geosynthetic materials used in mining and infrastructure environments. These materials are designed to:

• Help prevent mine collapse
• Provide reinforcement for roads and retaining ponds
• Reduce erosion and improve structural stability

These materials are typically installed underground or within infrastructure layers to provide long-term structural support.

Nerospec SK

Nerospec focuses on retrofitting existing mining equipment to support autonomous or semi-autonomous operation.

Rather than requiring full fleet replacement, the technology allows mines to automate existing equipment, supporting the broader industry shift toward digitalization and automation.
