“Once we got our mud mixtures down and figured out the night type of rock bits, we were able to scoot right along,” says Thomas.

The inner hex shaft works as a mechanical motor that drives the bit during the bore, the outer pipe thrusts the bit forward, steers the drill string, and works to transmit full machine torque during backreaming. The unit’s remarkable drilling capacity is largely due to its advanced, dual-drive pipe system-a unique, “shaft-within-a-pipe” system that features a strong, hex-shaped rod that turns inside an outer pipe. The JT2720 AT system was designed and built to steer, drill and backream through virtually any type of soil-including rock, cobblestone, broken rook, gravel and soil/rock mix-at distances up to 650 feet (200 m). We had to hit some pretty extreme windows-10inch windows-from a couple hundred feet, with no room for error. Our job was to pull back a three-pack (two 2-inch and one 1.5inch polyethylene pipe,through which fiber-optic cable can be run).

“I’ve been drilling for about ten years, and I’d never had to work in such hard rock, “says Thomas.” We were on a state highway, drilling into some bridge abutment windows underneath a bridge. Fortunately for Thomas, he had a Ditch Witch JT2720 All Terrain (AT) machine at his disposal. Mike Thomas of Henkels & McCoy, Inc., was faced with the prospect of laying polyethylene pipe through some of this incredibly diffrent earth. In certain areas on the island of Kauai, rock denies entry to all but the toughest of drilling equipment. All of our equipment is modern and meticulously maintained.The living may be easy in Hawaii, but the drilling is not.
