Low Overhead Drilling

Tri-State's LoDrill is the perfect tool for low clearance whether it's inside a building or under existing lines that cannot be moved. Since it needs only 22 feet of headroom Northeast Utilities was able to avoid outages while drilling foundations for new transmission towers along the Metro North Railroad in Connecticut.

Tight working conditions were the ruled the project on the Metro North right-of-way. Here the train is speeding past rushing passengers to New York City just a few feet from the LoDrill.

The LoDrill is also the tool of choice for reaching up and down embankments where gaining access might otherwise be very costly.
