Over 140 years experience in the design, manufacture and sales of water well drilling rigs, mineral exploration drilling rigs, geothermal & geotechnical drilling rigs, borehole servicing rigs and drilling equipment.As a market leader, Dandos team of designers and engineers pride themselves on the provision of both standard and bespoke solutions for the drilling needs of any and every project. Strong is a word which sums up the Dando experience; the strength and reliability of the machines, the trading strength of the company and, most importantly, the strength of Dandos commitment to put their customers first.The roots of Dando Drilling go back to 1867 when the company founders, Mr. Duke and Mr. Ockenden, sank the first tubewell to ensure a clean water supply in Littlehampton, England following a cholera outbreak. In the ensuing years, Dando supplied tubewells for a number of military campaigns and developed and spread their operations globally, supplying drilling services, equipment, waterwells and windmills.It was during this time that Dando became one of the foremost drilling contractors and drilling rig manufacturers in the world. In 1980 the decision was made to cease the contracting operations in favour of manufacturing, with efforts concentrated on the creation of a range of drilling rigs and equipment that became second to none. Dando is active on every continent, with many rig’s working lives stretching into four decades. Applications for Dando equipment include mineral exploration, waterwell drilling, geotechnical investigation and seismic exploration.The company’s long history has given Dando the opportunity to accumulate a large body of knowledge and expertise in all areas of the drilling industry. This experience enables Dando engineers to advise customers on selection of equipment and on all aspects of drilling operations. In addition to the supply of cable percussion and modern rotary hydraulic drilling rigs, Dando also offer a comprehensive range of ancillary equipment and services such as commissioning, training and project implementation.
