Welcome to our factory

Come and visit, or take the virtual tour of where every GT and RC series rig is designed, developed and built.

COME AND VISIT OR TAKE A VIRTUAL TOUR…

We invite you to experience our state-of-the-art production facilities first-hand, just drop us a message, as there is nothing quite like a physical tour to see up close and personal the incredible people, processes, and production capabilities.

Want to know and see more now? No problem… For a behind-the-scenes look, watch our behind the scenes videos of GTD desco‘s factory and R&D Center in South Korea. We take immense pride in our skilled workforce and world-class facilities, which stand at the core of our relentless commitment to deliver the most capable, productive, cost-effective, safe and readily available specialist geothermal drill rigs in the world.

OUR STATE-OF-THE-ART FACTORY GENERATES 120% OF ITS ENERGY WITH THE EXTRA POWER FED BACK INTO THE GRID!

SETTING NEW STANDARDS

At GTD desco, it’s not just our rigs that are setting new standards in the industry! Our innovative approaches extend to our entire manufacturing process.

WE’VE REVOLUTIONIZED THE INDUSTRY NORMS…

We’ve revolutionized industry norms with rapid 4-month build times, on our most popular models, a stark contrast to the typical 12-24+ month lead times.

This speed of availability offers a tangible commercial advantage to our customers, they can start drilling faster (in every sense of the word) and it’s a direct result of substantial investments in our global manufacturing infrastructure to accommodate increasing market demands.

Quality & availability

Our extensive in-house CNC manufacturing capabilities ensure not only quality but also allow us to mitigate supply chain issues for new builds and, crucially, for spares and service part availability for existing customers. We batch produce and stock all critical rig components and can rapidly produce any additional parts if needed.

I asked my team ‘What’d you think?’… ‘We love how safe it is’ — for a contractor, that’s huge.

We drill with our customers, not just manufacture rigs

As they say… “Every day is a school day” sharing knowledge, understanding client/location-specific operational challenges – some of which influence the dialling in of processes, ways of working, and techniques others which inform innovations or small but significant developments to further improve drilling capabilities, safety, and performance.

It’s why our team spends a lot of time with boots on the ground and is always available to support the drillers with input, advice, and support not just for the rig, but for drilling as well. This differentiates us, we are ‘Drillers’ too, with decades of experience and processes, which would normally be a closely guarded ‘competitive advantage’ in-house secret, but we now have a compelling rationale to share abundantly to have all customer rigs drilling consistently and with ever-increasing productivity.
