Cornwall, UK - Site Investigation

Supplied to a customer based in Cornwall, UK, this Dando Jackal 4000 (Previously known as the Multitec 4000) with heavy duty mast, will be involved in many projects in the region including site investigation in the flood-hit village of Coverack and drilling up to 90 boreholes for the A30 St Austell link road.

Tanzania - Site Investigation

A Tanzania based geotechnical services company have been enjoying success using their Jackal 4000 (Previously known as the Multitec 4000) for Geobor S coring to depths of 30m and H wireline to 80m. The customer is also using shelby tubes and a hydraulic piston sampler to retrieve very high quality undisturbed samples where necessary. The multipurpose drilling rig has been involved in one of Tanzania’s major civil engineering projects, the Standard Gauge Railway.
