- Name's John Applegate,
work for G&W Construction
based out of Morehead, Kentucky.
I've got about seven years
experience in the industry.
We primarily work in
underground construction,
pipelines, gas lines, water lines, sewer,
any underground utility.
Today we're installing
a four-inch water line.
G&W currently owns a Vermeer 36x50DR,
they also have 40x55's,
23x30's and a 100x140.
We do rock with those with air hammer
and also conventional dirt.
Today we're using a new 40x55DR.
We're gonna be in
primarily hard limestone.
In Kentucky you range from
a lot of different types
of soil conditions, rock conditions,
from stuff that's really
hard, really soft,
stuff that turns into mush, clay.
You just unload it and complete your job.
Dual rod technology is
unsurpassed in the business
in my eyes.
It's versatility, you
unload it off the truck,
you drop it in the ground and go
and you complete your bore.
There's no pulling out and changing heads
or changing your pulling.
The DR controls are just like
a conventional dirt drill.
They took all of the good
qualities of the previous 36x50DR,
they took all the good
qualities out of 40x55,
combined the two drills.
The versatility of this
drill is unmatched.
