2024-09-15

Thank you for all you do at Nest Equipment and we hope you have a lovely birthday!

Recently Ben Vellema assisted with a start up for a Nordic Drill we set up for Drews Well Drilling as well as Shawver Well Drilling's new GEFCO 50k rig in Iowa.

Start ups are important as they ensure that the rig is ready to use and that our customers are well informed on any new features!

In Progress!

2024-08-12

Our two GEFCO 30K twins are currently ahead of schedule in Conroe, TX. The first, R80, is going through testing and is R81 making progress towards being done! We think it is really neat to see this process, so much hard work goes into making sure you get the water you need!

On November 1st these twin rigs will be available for rent or purchase. If you would like to get a look in person, R80 will be at the GEFCO open house on October 25-26 and R81 will be at the Groundwater Week convention in Las Vegas this December!

Rigs off to their new homes!

2024-07-25

These rigs are on the way to their new homes, and we are proud to help provide a smooth transition for both!

The older model, a 2015 Atlas Copco TH60, has been sold to Nolan Rodriguez of H2O Well Drilling & Pump Service LLC. from Leo Van De Yacht Well Drilling. We did some general maintenance, top head rebuild work, and cleaning so that it is ready for its new home and owner.

The newer model, a 2024 Epiroc TH60, is from Keystone Drill Services, Inc. in Pennsylvania. Troy Van De Yacht, of Leo Van De Yacht Well Drilling in Green Bay, WI reached out to Nest Equip. to install his 5x6 American MFG Co. mud pump and help source the speed reducer. Shout out to Billy Davis and Chip Nelson from GEFCO for their help in hunting down the elusive SPEED REDUCER allowing delivery of this rig to stay on schedule.

Both Nolan and Troy are wonderful industry partners and we are proud to be working with them. These transactions are a perfect example of industry members collaborating to keep bits turning to the right.

Special thanks to Adam Venhuizen and Nick Stelsel for their hard work on these rigs!
