Why This Works for Drilling Contractors
- Moonpool = true vertical drilling access (no offset compromise)
- Hydraulic spuds = tight positioning + less drift = better holes
- Rigid frame = reduced flex under drill torque
- Modular = get into sites others can’t reach
- Built as a ready-to-work drill platform — not a modified work barge
Barge Characteristics:
- Length: 40 ft.
- Width: 30 ft.
- Depth: 4 ft.
- Sections: (3) × 10’ x 40’ x 4’ modular barges
- Connection: Heavy-duty pin-together system
- Bow: Raked front for easier positioning and push efficiency
Drill-Optimized Layout
- 4′ x 8′ Center Moonpool
- Direct access for drill string / casing / augers
- Ideal for: Geotechnical drilling, Core sampling, Pile driving, Dewatering wells
- Open deck layout allows clean rig positioning over centerline
Stability & Positioning (Key for Drilling Accuracy)
- (4) × Hydraulic Spuds with Down Pressure
- 8″ square tube spuds
- External spud pockets for full vertical travel
- Provides: Rigid hold during drilling, Reduced barge movement under load, Improved bore accuracy and repeatability
- Ideal for soft ground, shoreline, and inland water conditions
Structural Build (Designed for Drill Loads)
- 1/4″ steel plate hull
- 16″ on-center internal bracing
- Reinforced for: Concentrated drill rig loads, Dynamic torque from drilling operations
- Double continuously welded watertight joints
Deck Safety & Crew Efficiency
- 42″ perimeter guardrails
- Integrated toe kick (kick plate)
- (2) × Dive ladders for water access & safety compliance
- Clean perimeter = safer movement for drill crews and tooling
Coating System
- Fully sandblasted steel
- (2) coats marine-grade epoxy
- Designed for: Freshwater & marine environments, Long-term corrosion protection
Transport and Setup
- Modular sections = truckable
- Fast mobilization to remote sites
- Quick pin-together assembly on site
- Expandable into larger drill spreads if needed
