Crawler and truck mounted hydraulic drilling rigs with a pull up capacity ranging from 10 to 30 tonnes, designed and optimized for the construction of water and geothermal wells with the use of double head drilling systems.
[pdf] A water well drilling rig works by using a powerful drill bit to penetrate the earth, reaching aquifers to provide a reliable water source. These rigs are equipped with various components like a derrick, rotary table, and mud pump, enabling efficient drilling operations.
[pdf] The first offshore mobile drilling platform was the Breton Rig 20, first operated in 1949. This rig had evolved from the inland drilling barges which were used to drill in marshes and protected waters in up to 10 feet of water. The Breton Rig 20 was 160 feet by 85 feet, and could work in 20 feet water depth.
