Typical specifications include rig depths and mast heights compatible with standard UK soil and rock testing requirements. Every rig we supply is carefully matched to ensure it meets both operational needs and regulatory standards.

Do geotechnical drill rigs come with tooling?

Tooling packages vary by rig. Some rigs are sold with full tooling, including coring barrels, augers, or sampling equipment, while others are offered as bare rigs. Omnia can provide guidance on tooling availability and assist in sourcing additional tools to meet your project requirements.

What should I check when buying a used geotechnical drill rig?

Key checks when buying a used geotechnical drill rig include:

Mast condition – ensure structural integrity and straightness.

Hydraulic system – verify hoses, pumps, and cylinders.

Engine hours – assess wear and maintenance history.

Drilling head and winch – check for smooth operation.
