Why city rigs fit here

Built for soft, deep ground

  • Delta soils: much of Richmond and Delta sits on deep river sediment.
  • Deep foundations: towers and bridges lean on piles.
  • Busy rigs wear out: heads, winches and kellys take a beating.
  • When a fleet upgrades, the old rig needs a new home.

Questions

Common questions

Do you buy kelly bars and casing on their own?

Yes, if they come with a rig or with other tooling. Tell us the sizes and lengths and send a photo of the pile.

Can you move a big piling rig?

Yes. Large rigs go out on a lowbed, often in more than one load. We arrange the trucks and any permit.

Do you buy crane-attached drills?

Yes. Drill attachments and the crane can be bought together or the attachment on its own.

Fleet upgrade left an old rig?

Send the model and photos. We handle the lowbed and the permit.
