Geothermal Drilling Rigs

We supply drilling rigs to drill the boreholes necessary for vertical ground loops. Typical domestic projects vary from a single borehole to several boreholes, with depths ranging from 50m to 75m deep, with larger domestic and commercial projects requiring boreholes up to 100m deep or more.

Typically, shallower boreholes can be efficiently drilled with a standard geotechnical drilling rig such as our Casagrande C6 drilling rig. However, for deeper boreholes, a more specialized drilling rig such as one our Hutte HBR205GT, HBR204GT and HBR504GT geothermal drilling rigs may be required offering a greater drilling torque, higher extraction force, faster feed speeds and the ability to drive double drilling heads for efficient installation of deep casing. In addition, the HBR205GT offers a mechanized rod and casing handling system for up to 50m of drill casings and up to 100m of drill rods.
