Meet the Comacchio Track Rig: Precision Drilling Built for Demanding Ground Conditions
When people think about drilling rigs, they usually picture massive machines dominating a site. Our Comacchio track rig proves that bigger isn’t always better.
Compact, agile, and incredibly capable, this rig is one of the hardest-working pieces of equipment in our fleet. It allows us to tackle projects in places where traditional rigs simply can’t operate - from tight urban developments and awkward access routes to unstable ground and confined working areas.
At Matthew B Downing, we rely on equipment that gets the job done properly, safely, and efficiently. The Comacchio does exactly that.
Built for the Tough Jobs
All the sites we visit are rarely straightforward. Uneven terrain, soft ground, limited access, changing conditions - it all comes with the territory.
That’s where the Comacchio comes into its own.
Its tracked design gives it excellent stability while reducing ground pressure, allowing it to move confidently across difficult terrain without compromising performance. Despite its compact size, it delivers impressive drilling power and precision, making it ideal for specialist geotechnical and site investigation works.
In simple terms: it goes where other rigs struggle.
Why We Use the Comacchio
We chose the Comacchio because it offers the flexibility modern projects demand.
Access Tight Spaces
Rear garden access, narrow pathways, restricted compounds - the compact footprint allows us to work in areas larger rigs can’t physically reach.
Handles Challenging Ground
Tracked mobility means better stability and safer operation on uneven or softer ground conditions.
Delivers Precision
When it comes to drilling and investigation work, accuracy matters. The Comacchio provides excellent control and reliable performance across a range of applications.
No two sites are ever the same, which is why versatility matters. The Comacchio gives our team the adaptability needed to respond to changing site conditions without compromising on quality or safety.
