H o l l o w S t e m A u g e r E q u i p m e n t Pitcher Drilling s hollow stem auger rigs are used to collect soil samples and to construct/destruct monitoring or recovery wells. TRUCK AND TRACK MOUNTED EQUIPMENT CME 55 - The standard of its class for over 35 years, this truck mounted drill rig that has the power, versatility, dependability to handle medium depth hollow stem auger, coring, or mud rotary drilling. CME 850 - Designed for off-road locations where medium depth hollow stem auger, coring, or mud rotary drilling is required. This rig has a very low center of gravity which provides the stability you need in off-road conditions, it can go places you can t even walk. Designed for difficult access locations, the CME 850 is able to climb a 60% grade and transverse a 40% grade. The low pressure steel D-dent tracks allow less than 5 psi pressure.

A i r V a c u u m E q u i p m e n t Our air vacuum system works by exploding the soil from within, using high pressure air. The soil is then vacuumed and store in large canisters for easy backfilling. The operators are able to use air 95% of the time but have the option to switch to water if required. The air vacuum system allows you to dig faster, easier, and safer in soil that s hard, wet, sunbaked or compacted. Combined with our truck or portable concrete core drills for fast, safe and effective utility clearance. CAPABILITIES Borehole Clearance Underground Utility Location/Pot-holing up to 16 Cathodic Protection Installation FEATURES Powerful air digging action and specially designed nozzle to break up hard soil. Selectable air or water digging Rear-mounted soil collection canisters keep dry and wet spoils separate Hydraulic powered tanks to empty spoils. Quiet operation due to absorption chamber silencer. Automatic monitoring system Reverse-flow air automatically cleans filters The air excavation system utilizes kinetic energy in a high velocity air stream to penetrate, expand, and break up soil. Benefits Air is faster in most soils. Air is much safer. With air, spoils stay dry for backfilling. Air won t damage underground utility lines or road base. Air eliminates costly mud disposal. The high-pressure/high-volume air combined with the specially designed nozzle breaks up the hardest soils in record time.
