Built around the job — not the other way around.

HDD is unforgiving — every site, every soil, every crossing is different. So we don't hand you the nearest machine off a shelf. We start with your job and match it to a proven platform, configured to fit — and engineered further on the rare job that truly demands it.

One platform. Three drives.

Placeholder for the FHE scroll-moment — here the same rig will morph Fuel → Hybrid → Electric. For now it shows the mechanic: scroll to drive the progress.

Your project.
Our engineering.

When no catalogue rig fits, we do not start from a blank sheet — we take a proven platform and configure it to your bore. Pull force, frame, drive and rod length, matched to how and where you drill — engineered by the people who build the machine.

Start with the job — the challenge, how we'd approach it, and the rig to start with. Seven fields, from urban fibre to major crossings.

Customer Story

Proof from the field

Image placeholder — project

Built to travel on one permit.

A contractor needed a 150-tonne-class rig that could move between sites on a single standing transport permit — under 31 tonnes, ready to drill. We engineered it there: Hybrid drive to shed weight, the control cabin moved into a container, clamp and breakout made removable.
