CED Engineering

CED Engineering explores the design, development and practical engineering behind modern exploration drilling equipment. From hydraulics, rotation systems and tracked drill rigs to South African-built 6×6 SFM platforms and custom equipment solutions, discover how CED combines engineering with real drilling experience to develop equipment for demanding exploration environments.

The rig might be the largest single piece of equipment, but it isn't going very far without the correct drill string, core barrels, bits, reaming shells, casing, pumps, drilling fluids, tooling, spare parts and people.

Inside CED: Why We’re Building Complete Drilling Packages — Not Just Drill Rigs

That brings compressors, hoses, manifolds, dual-wall drill pipe, hammers, bits, cyclones, splitters and sampling equipment into the conversation.

Because a shiny new exploration rig without the correct rods, tooling, consumables, pumps, compressor, spare parts and support equipment isn't really a drilling operation.

BRITISH ENGINEERING. BUILT AROUND THE COMPLETE DRILLING PACKAGE.

That's particularly valuable for companies establishing new exploration programmes or entering regions where their existing supply chain doesn't yet exist.

A drill rig destined for an established mine with workshops, cranes and easy road access faces a very different engineering problem from a rig that needs to be transported into remote mineral exploration terrain.

Inside CED Engineering: A Drill Rig Has to Survive More Than the Workshop

Behind every smooth movement of a drill rig is a collection of pumps, motors, valves, cylinders, hoses and fittings doing considerably more work than most people looking at the finished machine ever see.
