A crew with Wininger Drilling is set up for a coal exploration job Healy, Alaska. Wininger uses a refurbished Mobile Drill B80 on a custom off-road carrier with 66-inch tires and little to no ground impact. They say the Alaska terrain is so unique you have to build your own equipment to match the harsh environment.
