The Ultimate Geo-Environmental Site Investigation Rig.
The Comacchio GEO205 rotary drilling rigs are capable of carrying out a range of drilling techniques, whilst still being light weight and compact, thus making them very versatile cost effective rigs. The Comacchio rigs are powered by a silenced diesel engine fitted with a spark arrestor and chalwyn valve.
The GEO205 is transported to site via a specialist plant trailer towed by a 4×4 and backed up by a support vehicle carrying all consumables and ancillary drilling equipment. The rigs have a powerful impact hammer mounted to the side of the main drill head, which is used to advance windowless sample barrels through soft substrata to retrieve high quality samples. Upon encountering harder geology the rigs have several solutions to offer including, hollow or solid stem augering, open hole or rotary coring. In compliance with all HSE and client requirements all of our rotary drilling rigs are fully guarded, giving ultimate protection to all drillers and public.
The Comacchio GEO205’s primary application is geotechnical and environmental ground investigation.
