How We Got Started
While dewatering for utility contractors, whose jobs spread over long lines, Tri-State developed a very mobile operation. There were two pieces of equipment that helped to change the Tri-State business focus -- the Watson truck-mounted drill rig and the Barco boom truck. This equipment made it possible for crews to move to a new location and set up, ready to drill, faster than ever before. This new capability launched Tri-State's move into the power line construction industry.
Some various methods and tools that Tri-State uses for rock drilling air hammers for hard rock, built core barrels and rock augers.
Some of Tri-State’s specialties with wet hole drilling would be high water table foundations, artesians and swamps.
Some tough accesses that Tri-State has handled are wet lands, swamps, hilly/ rough terrain, and limited space in cities.
Low overhead that Tri-State deals with on a consistent basis is working under powerlines and existing lines.
