Recently Geodrilling International Magazine published an article for WJ Groundwater. The piece was an interview with Paul Judge, our Major Contracts Manager in the UK. Below is a specially edited version for you to read and get to know about our new rig.

WJ Groundwater’s latest addition to its fleet of rigs is settling into the job with aplomb. The Conrad 500, known to us affectionately as Conrad, is Dutch manufactured and has many modern capabilities that will enable our team to complete projects that up until now have been slightly beyond our reach.
