Recently the 200 kN Crawler-Based CPT Rig was inspected by Marcelo Nicolás Garrido Soto from the Fugro Chile team at our Gouda Geo-Equipment B.V. facility in the Netherlands. Marcello was fully trained on the use and maintenance of the rig by the specialized Gouda team, this in rainy Dutch weather.
Shortly after the inspection the rig was on its way to the Dutch harbor of Rotterdam to be prepared for shipment by boat to the port of San Antonio in Chile, where it will arrive in the course of January 2025.
We would like to thank David Tindall, Marcelo Nicolás Garrido Soto and the complete Fugro team in Chile for the order and their faith in our team and product, we wish them many safe working hours with the equipment.
