This specialist mud pump imported by Nicholls Boreholes from the USA has been wheel mounted for fast manoeuvring around sites between boreholes and jobs.

This pump pumps the drilling fluid through the borehole to remove cuttings and debris to enable faster drilling. It was specifically purchased for drilling London Blue Clay which needs a high pressure and flow for efficient drilling.

The benefits of this addition to our equipment and speed on site when setting up to drill and the actual drilling time. Saving money.
