Why choose a Custom Rig?

1

Designed to Your Drilling Profile 

 We size pullback force, torque, mast height and hydraulic performance according to your typical depth and geology. Your preferred drilling method is built into the system from day one.

2

 Built for Real African Conditions

 We design with terrain, road regulations, transport limits and truck compatibility in mind. Your rig is ready for rough access tracks and long working days in challenging environments.

3

 Simple Maintenance & Easy Parts

 We prioritize common, locally available hydraulic and mechanical components. This keeps servicing straightforward and reduces downtime on remote projects.

Our Engineering & 3D Design Capabilities

Working on 3D Rig Layout
3D Layout & System Integration


We design each rig inside a complete 3D workspace that includes mast, rotary head, compressor, pumps, tanks and storage systems. This lets us position every component with accuracy while maintaining accessible working areas around the equipment.

Additional considerations include:

  • Balanced weight distribution
  • Clear service access around key components
  • Logical routing of controls, hydraulics and hoses
  • Layouts adapted to truck, trailer or track platforms
  • Early clash detection to prevent issues 

This results in cleaner rig layouts, smoother workflows and more predictable performance on site.

Working on Rig Manufacturing-Ready Drawing Set
Manufacturing-Ready Drawings


After the 3D layout is approved, each element of the rig is converted into a full drawing pack. Structural members, welded assemblies and hydraulic systems are documented clearly to guide consistent and accurate fabrication.

Drawing sets typically include:

  • Structural frames and mast assemblies
  • Mounting brackets, support plates and anchor points
  • Hydraulic schematics and hose routing diagrams
  • BOM lists for material sourcing and planning
  • Cut lists for fabrication of steel and tubing

These drawings improve build quality, simplify fabrication and make future maintenance or upgrades easier.

Performance and Safety Engineering


All performance values such as pullback, torque, rotation speed and mast stroke are selected according to your expected geology. Structural components are sized with conservative margins to ensure safe operation across different drilling conditions.

Safety features included in the model:

  • Integrated guarding and operator handrails
  • Clear zones for safe working positions
  • Balanced mast and tower movement mechanics
  • Stability checks for sloped or uneven terrain
  • Accessible points for setup and routine maintenance

This engineering approach creates rigs that remain efficient, predictable and safe throughout daily drilling operations.

Our Custom Rig Design Process.

1

Plan & Define

We review your needs and prepare a clear outline for the custom rig setup.

2

Design & Model

We create a full 3D model and refine the layout according to your input.

3

Engineering

We prepare all drawings and select components needed for precise builds.

4

Manufacturing

We assemble the rig, set key systems and confirm structural alignment.

5

Test & Deliver

We run final tests and hand over the rig with guidance for operation.
