Do I need an integrated rig or a separate compressor?

If the rig moves between benches weekly, an integrated machine reduces setup time. If you run several rigs on the same site, a centralised diesel compressor fleet costs less per hole and lets you size air to the hammer.

Truck-mounted or crawler for a contracting business?

If your wells are spread over several hundred kilometres, truck-mounted pays for itself in mobilisation time. If you stay on one site for weeks in soft ground, a crawler drills more metres per shift.

How many piles per day can be expected?

On rock, output depends far more on relocation time than on drilling speed. Send us the array layout, pile spacing and geology and we will estimate a realistic daily rate.

Do I need a special machine for high altitude?

Yes. Tell us the working altitude and we will confirm the engine derating and the compressor class that still delivers the air volume your hammers need.

What should I order with the machine?

At minimum: hammer and bit set, service kit for the first interval, and high-wear consumables. We can prepare a spares list matched to your programme length.

Remote Area & Off-Grid Projects β†’

What is different from normal water-well drilling?

Higher down-hole temperature and harder rock. We select hammers and seals rated for temperature and set the compressor class from the well depth and casing programme.

Can one compressor serve several geothermal rigs?

Yes, when the rigs work the same pad and the air line is short. Send us the programme and we will size the manifold and the hose run.

What air compressor is required for water well drilling?

Air demand is set by the hammer, not the rig. Parameter-matched compressors for the rigs in this application include LGCY-33/25, KSCY-550/13. Match the compressor's working pressure and free air delivery to the hammer class you intend to run.

How do I know the compressor will keep up with the hammer?

Send us the hammer size and hole program. Pressure must meet the hammer rating and free air delivery must exceed hammer consumption by 10–15% to hold penetration rate.

What pressure do I need for deep wells?

As a rule, 1.7 MPa suits wells up to about 200 m, 2.3 MPa covers 200–450 m, and deeper wells need the 2.5–3.5 MPa high-pressure class.

Do I still need a compressor underground?

Only if you drill with pneumatic hammers or need air for other services. Tell us the method and we will size the air package and the line.

High altitude & site conditions

What is the maximum drilling depth for high altitude drilling?

The deepest published capability among the listed models is 1300 m (KSC-1300, CZT-1200). Note that economical depth depends on method and tooling: a split rig with a separate compressor is normally economical to about 25 m per bench, while deeper holes need matched rod strings.

Which technical guide should I read first for high altitude drilling?

Start with the selection guides linked on this page (how-to-choose-a-dth-drilling-rig and best-compressor-for-dth-drilling). They explain how hole diameter, bench depth and rock hardness drive the rig and compressor choice.

What is the maximum drilling depth for remote area drilling?

The deepest published capability among the listed models is 1300 m (KSC-1300, CZT-1200). Note that economical depth depends on method and tooling: a split rig with a separate compressor is normally economical to about 25 m per bench, while deeper holes need matched rod strings.
