Teixeira Duarte – Engenharia e Construções has strengthened its operational capacity with two large-diameter rotary drilling rigs for its Geotechnical and Foundations operations.
The two units are SOILMEC SR-65 + CFA Kit machines, high-performance and robust rigs designed to meet the demands of specialist foundation works.
Key technical specifications:
- Operating weight: 60.5t
- Cummins L9 engine with 272 kW
- Rotary unit torque: 240 kNm
- Telescopic Kelly bar: 4×13.5m
Following delivery of the equipment to the Montijo Operational Hub (POTD), the rigs were fully assembled and a training session was held for Operators, Mechanics and Electricians, ensuring the teams are prepared to operate and maintain the new equipment.
