This new MI8 drilling rig has been the protagonist of a really interesting jobsite for water wells construction in Tuscany (Italy). Drilling with down the hole hammer, it reached a 175 m depth with 8-1/2” diameter.
But the MI8 is not exceptionally great for water wells only: as all Massenza rigs it can be highly customized to work in different jobsites and perform geotechnical applications, geothermal wells and coring for mineral research.
Robustness and versatility meet a lightweight construction, which means that it can drill in difficult conditions at impressive depths, way beyond the normal results achieved by other rigs of similar size.
