Build to Order

Your Project.
Our Engineering.

When standard platforms reach their limits — we build the solution with you. Build to Order is not a special service at Prime Drilling. It is where we started.

Minor adjustments
A different rod length. A modified clamping system. Small changes that make a big difference on site.
Platform variants
Custom pull force, non-standard drive systems, special frame configurations for extreme environments.
One-off engineering
A completely new machine class. A unique configuration for a unique project. We have built all of it.
Our DNA

From minor adjustments
to one-off engineering

Long before we standardized our platform range, we built machines to order. That instinct never left. Today we still love the challenge of a project that doesn't fit the catalogue.

The spectrum is wide. Tell us what you need — and we will tell you what is possible.

Our biggest innovations
come from your ideas.

Initial Requirements
You describe your project. Soil conditions, bore length, diameter, drive preference, timeline. We ask the right questions — and listen carefully.

Concept & Feasibility
Our engineers develop a technical concept. We present it, discuss it, adjust it. Nothing is committed until you are satisfied with the direction.

Placeholder for the BTO weight-story — here components come off and the weight falls to ready-to-drill. For now it shows the mechanic: scroll to drive the progress.

Build to Order — Example Project
Built to travel
on one permit.
A contractor came to us with a constraint, not a spec sheet: they needed a 150-tonne-class rig that could move between sites on a single standing transport permit — under 31 tonnes, ready to drill. A standard machine in that class is far heavier.

So we engineered the weight out. A Hybrid drive removed the big diesel and its tank; the control cabin moved into a 12-ft container; rod feed became a rod tray; and the clamp-and-breakout unit, with its energy chain, was made fully removable. With no built-on mud pump, we could fit a stronger rotary — 72 kNm. Ready to drill, it came in at 30.5 tonnes. Without the clamp, 29.

We gave Prime Drilling a transport limit, not a specification. They handed us a 150-tonne rig that travels on one permit. That is the difference.

Why Prime Drilling

The same line.
The same team.

We build standard rigs and custom rigs on the same line, with the same team. A Build to Order project at Prime Drilling is not a disruption — it is a variation of what we do every day. The platform knowledge, the supplier network, the service infrastructure — all of it is there from day one.

01
Platform knowledge from day one
Every custom project builds on proven standard components. Shorter lead times, known quality, available spare parts worldwide.
02
Your ideas become our innovations
Several features in our standard range started as customer requests. When you push us, we build something better — for you and for everyone after.
03
Service from delivery day
Custom rigs are fully integrated into our service network. Spare parts, remote diagnostics, IDP — exactly like a standard rig.
