7822DT Perfect Fit for Various Drilling Methods

Serving a wide swath of the Midwest, SCS Environmental Contracting in Indiana, provides turnkey services for their clients with a variety of specialized equipment to set them apart from competitors. When they sold their last 6620DT, purchasing a 7822DT v3 to compliment their existing four 7822DTs just made sense.

“The 7822DT rigs just fit our organization perfectly. This unit is so versatile,” Curt Luebbert, operations manager, said. “The 7822DT can switch between different drilling methods with ease. The versatility of the 7822DT makes it our workhorse. It’s just so universal.”

Confident in the 7822DTs ability to serve as their drilling methods workhorse, Luebbert was surprised by the Tier 4 power of the 7822DT v3  — especially the load/fuel sensing system.

“When you need the power of the unit, it is there, but when idling or not under a load, the system pressure is lowered, thus saving wear and tear on the machine and improving fuel efficiency,” Luebbert said.

On a recent limited-access project, they unexpectedly encountered bedrock.

“Instead of having to mobilize a separate rig to complete the job, with the flip of a switch we completed DT22 sampling and bedrock drilling that same day,” Luebbert said.

That wasn't the only time the 7822DT proved its ability to perform multiple drilling methods.

“The client needed to complete geotechnical soil borings and install monitoring wells in a remote wooded area,” Luebbert said. “We were able to complete the project with just the 7822DT.”

Completing jobs has now become the norm for SCS.

"With the 54LT and 6620DT, we would have to call numerous projects off due to refusal. Now with our fleet of 7822DT units, those projects are far and few in between,” Luebbert said. “For the most part, projects are completed in a timely manner and under budget.”

According to Luebbert, the 7822DT has earned a reputation for getting the job done among their numerous repeat clients.

“There seems to be high confidence when you show up with the 7822DT that the project will be completed efficiently and correctly,” Luebbert said.

Luebbert also places confidence in his ability to get support from the team at Geoprobe^®.

“Most of the time it’s a one-call-and-done scenario for parts and service. Hard to beat that in today’s world,” Luebbert said. “Simply put, Geoprobe^® is the best.”
