Casing Oscillators

Oscillators are a proven method for drilling large diameter shafts in challenging conditions.  Unlike traditional methods, oscillators use rotational force to bore into the earth.

Oscillators offer unique benefits:

  • Designed for challenging ground conditions such as caving soil and loose sands, as well as, cobbles and boulders

  • Allows for drilling in close proximity to existing structures

  • Precision drilling with state-of-the art control systems

  • Ground stability due to simultaneous drilling and casing installation

    • Having a fully cased shaft controls loose soil conditions by preventing the shaft from caving in and soil from sinking around the excavation area

  • Cuts through obstructions and dense strata more efficiently

    Environment Benefits

  • Does not rely on hammering or vibration to install casing, allowing for drilling in sensitive or noise restricted areas

  • Since water alone can be used for drilling, environmental concerns can be minimized or totally eliminated

  • Excavated soil can easily be placed in a truck for disposal making for a cleaner job site.

We offer three types of oscillators: General, Heavy Duty and Drill Mount. With the choice of model, diameter and adaptor, we can help you identify the machine that best fits your drilling needs.
