The U.S.-based nonprofit organization Charity:Water donated two FRASTE FS 250 water well drilling rigs to REST, so people living in small villages would have access to drinking water. FRASTE is proud to be a part of this important project to counter the global poverty that comes with water scarcity. These FRASTE units are known for their high quality and reliability under any working condition because of FRASTE’s lifetime experience (since 1964) in drill rig manufacturing. The two FRASTE FS 250 allhydraulic water well rigs were supplied as an all-in package. The powerful 240-horsepower deck-mounted diesel engines operate a load-sensing hydraulic system for all rig components. They also provided a separate skid-mounted air compressor, and complete drilling string with tools to operate both a down-the-hole hammer system and direct rotary drilling with mud. The FRASTE FS 250 rigs can drill to a depth of about 980 feet and features an effective light system for nighttime operations. FRASTE not only supplied two rigs, they organized the complete commissioning, training course, and functional test at the REST site in Ethiopia. One skilled and experienced drill technician trained local drilling crews to grant the maximum potential performances of the machines, with the best human safety factor. Each rig came complete with technical literature, including manuals, schemes, pictures, and drawings, so local drilling personnel can have immediate information and instruction about their use, providing maintenance, and safety. These rigs will drill many water wells, allowing a better life to hundreds of thousands of people. WTR An arborist never barks up the wrong tree.
