Applications / Equipment selection & sourcing

Drilling & piling applications.

Choose the work you need to do. Build the equipment enquiry around it.

Explore water well drilling, geological sampling, quarry drilling and solar pile installation. Each route connects the project questions with equipment configurations, selection guides and a matching package schedule.

Three steps from application to a defined scope.

  1. 1. Define the project.

    Use the application guide to record the intended work, available ground information and the technical conditions still to resolve.

  2. 2. Explore the equipment family.

    Review relevant configurations and their supplier evidence. Ask for a current technical sheet for the proposed machine.

  3. 3. Plan the complete package.

    Bring the rig, tooling, auxiliaries, spares and documentation into an itemised offer. Record inclusions, options, exclusions and unanswered questions.

Application / Water wells

Water Well Projects

Plan equipment for water-supply and irrigation boreholes around the proposed well, ground information and site access. Bring the rig, circulation system, drill string and completion questions into one enquiry.

Bring these details.

  • Target depth and hole / casing programme
  • Available ground information and proposed air or mud method
  • Existing equipment, access and destination

Package questions: Rig, air or mud system, rods, working tools and support items.

Application / Core sampling

Geological & Core Sampling

Begin with the sample the investigation needs. Describe the hole programme and sampling requirements before comparing the rig, rods, barrel, bit and circulation arrangement.

Bring these details.

  • Sample type and required core / hole sizes
  • Depth, inclination and expected ground intervals
  • Tooling interfaces, power supply and sample-handling requirements

Package questions: Rig, compatible sampling tools, casing, circulation and handling scope.

Application / Quarry & mining

Quarry & Surface Mining Drilling

Use the project hole requirements, rock information and working layout to discuss a drilling system. Review the DTH rig, hammer, bit, rods and air supply together, with dust-control provisions identified in the offer.

Bring these details.

  • Hole diameter, depth and inclination
  • Rock information, bench access and working space
  • Hammer / compressor data and required dust-control scope

Package questions: DTH rig, hammer, bit, rods, air supply, connections and spares.

Application / Solar foundations

Solar Foundation Installation

Start with the approved pile drawing, ground investigation and installation method. Ask the supplier to reconcile the offered machine, attachment and working envelope with the project requirements.

Bring these details.

  • Pile profile, total length and target embedment
  • Ground report, trial information and approved installation method
  • Working platform, access and attachment requirements

Package questions: Machine, agreed hammer or drilling attachment, holders and support items.

Which route should you open first?

Use the intended project output to choose a starting point. If the project covers several tasks, prepare a brief for each before combining the equipment scope.

Make the quotation easier to compare.

Keep the project brief, machine configuration and package schedule together. Identify any equipment you already own and request the supplier’s interface and inclusion confirmations in writing.

RigSpan supports independent equipment sourcing and procurement coordination with manufacturing partners. Project engineering, the offered configuration and order-specific responsibilities require confirmation by the relevant parties.

Application planning questions.

Can I start without a model number?

Yes. Select the application and provide the project information you have. Mark unknowns clearly; a final proposal may need more ground information, drawings or technical confirmation.

Are all supporting tools included with a machine?

The accepted quotation should identify the machine, tooling, auxiliaries and quantities. Use the package schedule to distinguish included, optional, excluded and unresolved items.

What if my project needs more than one equipment family?

Record the requirements for each task separately, then review the combined scope with the supplier. Similar model names, depth labels or tool dimensions do not by themselves establish cross-system compatibility.

Where can I check the basis for the selection questions?

The four application guides provide source references and their scope. Linked product pages identify supplier listings, configuration notes and unresolved specification fields. The overview organises those existing resources into procurement routes.

Bring your application into the enquiry.

Share the job, destination and requirements you know, then identify what the supplier needs to confirm.
