Cable percussion drilling
Dando 2500, 2000 & 175
Four Dando cable percussion rigs working casing and tooling from 150mm to 300mm, with SPTs, U100 sampling and monitoring or remediation well installation.
The fleet
Explore our cable percussion rigs
We run four Dando cable percussion rigs across three models - two Dando 2500, a 2000 and a 175. All work shell and auger with casing and tooling from 150mm to 300mm, taking SPTs and U100 samples and installing monitoring or remediation wells. Select a rig to see its detail.
Dando 2500
Cable percussion drilling, cased to 300mm

Model
Casing, tooling & sampling
We run two Dando 2500 cable percussion rigs - the mainstay of our cable percussion fleet.
Like all our Dando rigs it operates with casing and tooling at 150mm (6"), 200mm (8"), 250mm (10") and 300mm (12"), with telescopic casing where geology or the contamination regime dictates. A variety of downhole tools are used depending on the ground - bailers/shells for loose or saturated soils, clay cutters/chisels for cohesive or stiff soils. SPTs can be undertaken at defined intervals and U100 thick or thin walled samples collected in cohesive material, alongside bulk and disturbed samples for laboratory testing. Boreholes can be installed with gas/groundwater monitoring and remediation wells, from standard 50mm ID installs to wells up to 250mm diameter.
