Questions
How deep can the Aquilon 450C drill?
Up to 1,480 ft (450 m), with hole diameters from 6 to 17.5 inches. Actual depth depends on geology and drilling method.
Can it drill hard rock?
Yes. With a DTH hammer it drills hard formations that stop a mud-only rig, and it runs mud rotary in softer ground.
Is it suitable for geothermal?
Yes. The depth, torque and hole range cover residential and commercial ground-source boreholes, as well as deep water wells.
How is it transported?
It travels on its crawler for short moves and by lowboy or in a container for long-distance and export shipping.
How is it priced?
Quoted per order, including shipping to your location. Ask about bulk and government rates.
