Equipment and CapabilitiesDrilex offers truck-mounted auger rigs, a track mounted Geoprobe® Model 6620DT direct push machine, a truck-mounted SIMCO EarthProbe direct push probe unit, a tripod drill, other portable drills, and several support vehicles. Our newly acquired track mounted Geoprobe® Model 6620DT direct push machine has a 66 inch probe cylinder stroke allows use of 60 inch probe rods, has over 20 ton pulling capacity, equipped with powerful GH60 hammer, heavy duty undercarriage has a wider track that carries more weight, adds more torque, reduces ground pressure and handles greater tool weight, wireless remote control, built-in rotary spindle for concrete drilling, augering and anchoring, equipped with a hydraulic winch for handling augers and tripping dual tube sampling tools, two speed probe cylinder cycles from bottom to top in less than 5 seconds, powered by a four-cylinder, 54hp, liquid-cooled kubota turbo diesel engine, hydraulic movement in all three axes allows easy probe alignment with tool string, and an auxiliary hydraulic ports provide power for remote equipment. Our VacTron PMD500GT and our Vacmasters System 1000 Air Vacuum Excavator are trailer mounted wet/dry vacuum. Drilex uses it as an "Air Knife" to vacuum small holes between suspected underground utilities before bringing in the larger equipment. The Air Knife has a 4-inch diameter tip and can burrow up to eight feet into the ground to clear any hidden or mis-marked utilties. Our EarthProbe 2400 hydraultic powered soil probe unit (HPSPU) is mounted on a four wheel drive pick-up truck. This combines all the benefits of direct push technology, including micro well installation, with the added capability of small diameter hollow stem auger drilling. The EarthProbe is capable of installing two-inch I.D. groundwater monitoring wells via hollow stem auger and rotary drilling methods. The EarthProbe is also capable of compound angle probing, for the retrieval of soil and groundwater samples from what were once considered inaccessible areas. All of this drilling can be accomplished under a nine and one half foot ceiling. This extremely versatile piece of equipment may be used in a variety of applications to meet your soil and groundwater investigation needs. Our CME-75 is a "state-of-the-art", high-torque, hydraulic rotary, drill rig (capable of turning 10-1/4 inch hollow stem augers) coupled with an Standard Penetration Test (SPT) automatic hammer. This rig surpasses all specifications for environmental and geotechnical drilling. The CME-75 is a powerful drill rig in its own right, having 13,500 lbs. of rotary torque. It is capable of hollow stem auger, down-hole air hammer, drive and wash, rock coring and mud-rotary drilling technologies. Hollow stem augers up to 10-1/4 inch I.D., as well as steel casing allow for the installation of large diameter monitoring and recovery wells in all types of formations. The CME-75's tooling package (including hydraulic breakout wrenches and SPT Hammer) makes the tasks of the driller's assistant safer and less strenuous, which allows site work to proceed much more efficiently. Our SIMCO 9100 is an all-hydraulic, tophead drive, high torque, long-stroke, drill rig (12,500 ft. lbs.) designed to meet the diverse drilling needs of the environmental and geotechnical and water supply well drilling markets. Our SIMCO 9100 comes with 24 foot (7.3m) stroke mast, this rig features a hydrostatic tophead that automatically adjusts the drill head rotary speed and output torque to match drilling requirements. Feed rates and bit pressures are infinitely adjustable. Multiple winches provide easy handling of tools and a cathead or automatic hammer are available for taking soil samples.
