New Service Option Reduces Costs

In our ongoing effort to provide the best equipment service support in the drilling industry, we've launched a new service option — Repair and Paint. This process significantly decreases the labor cost because the unit is not torn all the way down and sandblasted and painted. Perhaps more importantly, drilling rig repair project time is decreased when compared to a complete Geoprobe^® Factory Refurbish, returning your rig to you and the field more quickly.

Process:

• Unit evaluated and worklist agreed upon before work begins.
• Painting happens while the unit is completely assembled.
• Drilling rig repair is made to the machine after painting.  
• Electrical and hydraulic hoses can still be changed if needed.

Factors to consider:

• Unit is mechanically sound but needs paint and a few repairs to look good when it shows up in the field.
• Regular maintenance has been done but trying to improve unit appearance.  
• When timing is tight, a Repair and Paint typically takes 30 days less than a Geoprobe^® Factory Refurbish, depending on timing at the paint shop.
• When budget prohibits doing a complete Geoprobe^® Factory Refurbish.

On a 6620DT or 7822DT machine, you will save approximately 25-30 percent from a Geoprobe^® Factory Refurbish and sometimes more depending on needed repairs. The final product looks good, is mechanically sound, and ready to return to work when you are.
