5991 Fecon is looking to establish itself in the seismic and geothermal drilling markets after acquiring Dyno-Drill.

The deal is said to combine an innovative drill solution with the manufacturing and distribution strengths of US-based Fecon, among the world leaders in mulchers used for seismic exploration and pipeline construction, and claimed pioneers of bioharvesting technology for the renewable energy market. The purchase of Dyno-Drill will enable Fecon to offer drills to an existing base of mulching contractors who offer seismic drilling services, and to expand its product offering into an additional segment of renewable energy.

 Fecon was due this summer to introduce two standard models under the Fecon label and colours.  The rubber track crawlers include an on-board 300-cfm/200-psi air compressor and a rod rack for carrying straight rod, auger rod, and an air hammer.  Wet drilling will also be available.
