There isn’t much that works harder than a drill rig in Australia. Drill rigs are regularly used to their maximum capacity, so they need lots of attention, including major fabrication and repair work.
For this project, a client needed OMG Engineering to bring a non-functioning drill rig back to life with a complete rebuild and upgrade.
What OMG Engineering did
The team made a plan for a complete rig rebuild with an upgrade that incorporates enhanced safety technology.
Upgrades, people, upgrades!
We had two main upgrades to make. The first was a remote rod handling system. The second was an upgraded hydraulics system that allows the mast to be raised and lowered, and the jack legs to be independently controlled by a remote control. Allowing the operator to set up and control hazardous functions at a safe distance from the drill rig.
The finished project
The finished project resulted in a drill rig that was not only brought back to life but now included remote-controlled systems to enhance safety and efficiency. That’s what a solution looks like when it’s shaped by OMG Engineering.
