EQUIPMENT
(Click each heading for photographs)
AMS Powerprobe VTR-Mini:
  Our main rig, this 2005 model is mounted on a Bobcat track unit and is just 3 feet wide, making it extremely portable
and maneuverable. It features 22,000 lbs of pull-down force and 27,900 lbs of pull-back, the rough equivalent of the  
Geoprobe 5400 series. It can drill at any angle and go anywhere.

Geoprobe GS-2000 Grout Pump:
  This powerful pump is used for materials injection and grouting. It supposedly produces a 2,000 psi blast and is
single-handedly responsible for remediating many sites around New England. It is also used for well abandonment, and
once was used successfully to stop a series of revolting leaks in a sanitary sewer line near MIT (don't bother calling us
about that type of work again).

Bosch Brute Electric Jackhammer:
  This massive hammer crushes its opponents with 43 ft-lbs of impact energy and 1,400 blows per minute. We use it for
limited-access installation of soil borings, wells, injection points and any other type of direct-push drilling, which it
accomplishes better than some drill rigs.

Banana Splits Machine:
  This great old rig left us for greener pastures in September, 2005. It will be greatly missed. However, its chosen
successor, the VTR-Mini, fully understands the large shoes it has to fill, and is up to the challenge of carrying Bronson
Drilling into the future.

Ford F-250 Super-Duty:
  This gas-guzzling behemoth features V-8 power, a fully boxed frame, over 5 billion tons of towing capacity, etc. etc. This
particular 2003 truck was once renowned throughout the drilling world for its disturbing shininess, but thanks to a freak
waxing mishap, is now only disturbing.

Shiny New Trailer:
  Bronson Drilling is proud to finally own a trailer of which the wheels have not ever fallen off. Yes, it's only a matter of
time before they do fall off - that's what happens with trailers. You buy them shiny and new, and after a while, the wheels
fall off. Don't try to fight it - just accept it.
