Heavy Cable Percussion

Our rig is a Pilcon 2000kg – a good ‘all round’ rig. We use this machine on our deeper shell and auger drilling jobs. We can offer casing sizes from 150mm to 450mm in diameter.

The 450mm ID casing is ideal where there is wet sand and gravel deposits that can yield a good flow of water. We have taken up to 30,000 litres per hour from wet sand and gravel. These deposits can often give more water than drilling much deeper into the natural underlying bedrock.

This rig has also been regularly used for dewatering wells down 50-60 metres finishing in 200mm diameter casing.
