Pinpointing a gas leak isn’t complicated—drill a hole through the pavement, drive the rod through the soil, insert a tester and move to the next spot until you detect the highest level of gas. But determining exactly how you’re going to dig the hole—or, more precisely, with what—can be more complicated. Wrapped into the decision is everything from efficiency to response times to workers’ compensation.
With drilling equipment costs likely to increase in 2014 and beyond, contractors need cost effective solutions and alternatives to ensure that they have the right machine for the job without breaking the bank.
It’s end of the year and typically work slows a little as we head into the holiday season, giving us time to reflect on our work and the people who have helped us make it through another year. When I think back on the 30 years that I have been in the drilling business, I am grateful that the individuals who have been my boss have been willing to share their experience with me.
