Borehole Drilling Systems.
Hands England top drive rotary rig. Capacity 100—250 mm diameter to a maximum depth of 165 m. This medium sized truck mounted rig has been specially constructed to work in locations where space is at a premium or access is restricted. It is mounted on an AWD 9.65 tonne 4 x 4 truck providing off road capability in a compact 6 mtr unit. The rig is fully equipped for air, mist, and mud flush drilling.
Berreta Waterwell Track mount.
Built to our specification by Alfedo Berretta srl in 2009 this rig is designed as a powerful yet compact go anywhere drilling rig, mounted on a tracked chassis with radio remote control this rig has a capability of 100 mm – 500 mm diameter to maximum depth of 330 m. Equipped with 30 ton casing jacks and clamp and break table this has become our most widely used waterwell rig.
Flushing systems.
