Hurricane Dual Purpose Drill Rig
Maviro, Inc. Environmental Services' dual-purpose skid steer mounted Hurricane drill rig performs both direct push and conventional hollow stem auger functions. Maviro, Inc. owns both rubber tire and low ground pressure tracked Bobcat Skid steer loaders for the carrier/power function. Maviro's tracked skid steer is equipped with special order extended width low ground pressure tracks (full 18” wide). This option allows Maviro to successfully complete drilling needs in soft/ wet ground and/ or extreme slopes situations. The low pressure tracked capability allows for a high amount of traction coupled with minimal ground disturbance – thus minimizing site restoration needs. Additionally, the probing unit can be quickly removed from the skid steer loader to allow installation of an excavation bucket when drilling locations require clearance of snow, earth, debris or other drill site modifications that prevent direct access. This flexibility results in cost savings to the project by eliminating the need for additional conventional excavation equipment.
Simply speaking - the Hurricane dual-purpose drill rig provides unmatched direct push performance coupled with the convenience of full scale auguring capability. Soil borings and/or monitor well are installed with one rig - one mobe.
​
Notice the machine's ability to utilize both 4 1/4" auger and hammer probing capability. The sliding system allows the driller to manipulate either tool above the hole without moving the carrier/power skid steer mount. The auger is a full-size auger head equipped with 4200 ft-lbs. of torque. The hammer is a Stanley Tools MB156, capable of disintegrating cobbles and sampling the toughest subsurface materials.
