Klemm 709W top head drive rotary drill rig mounted on new 8 x 4 Mercedes Actros 32/35 truck.This rig has automatic rod handling and carries 160m x 140mm diameter heavy-duty drill rods in its magazine. The machine is fitted with safety trip wires and interlocked guards to meet the latest H & S requirements. The hydraulic system has been designed for use with biodegradable oils and its Caterpillar 3056 DI-T power pack meets all current European emissions and is EPA certified. The Mercedes 32/35 also meets all current emissions legislation and is fitted with disc brakes and ABS as added safety features.

The rig is equipped with a 10m mast and has both a service winch and heavy-duty winch of 6.6 tonnes capacity. The rig has 508mm clamping and breaking tables to facilitate ease of use during rod change and handling of casings from 150mm diameter to 500mm, thus considerably minimising manual handling.

This machine has a depth range of 300m+ and is especially suited to difficult drilling conditions due to its high torque, variable speed, hydraulic top drive head.The machine is fitted with 3” hoses to facilitate either air flush or fluid drilling and perfectly partners the MC80 Mud Cleaning system.We believe this will be the most advanced water-well drilling package currently available in the UK and is ideally mated to our environmental objectives and code of safe working practice.

Beretta T151 drill rig, built in Milan by Beretta Alfredo srl, this compact tracked rig powered by a 98kW Deutz engine, it has a small footprint, and can even be operated by remote radio control if needs be.

Drilling to a diameter of 324mm its dual head system contra-rotates the outer casing, so achieving terminal depth is faster, particularly in unstable overburdens.  There is a triple clamping system for surface casings and drill rods, and the centre clamp has a 30 tonne jack-up system - exceptionally powerful for this size of machine - essential to retrieve stuck surface casings.

It is ideally suited to drilling geothermal boreholes where space is at a premium.

Environmental issues are fully addressed, as a fitted preventer system discharges arisings horizontally through a pipe into a skip, helping keep the site clean.

This equipment was added to our assets in 2007.
