JGL continues to invest in its specialist plant fleet with the arrival of a new AT120 All Terrain Directional Drill and M3000DH drilling fluid cleaning system, reinforcing the company's commitment to increasing capability, efficiency and delivery capacity across complex infrastructure projects. The new equipment has gone straight into operation on the Carno Grid project in Wales, supporting the delivery of critical energy infrastructure works.

"The arrival of the new AT120 and M3000DH is a significant investment in the future capability of JGL. These additions give us increased capacity, improved efficiency and the ability to tackle larger and more complex HDD installations with confidence. Deploying the equipment immediately to the Carno Grid project demonstrates our commitment to providing clients with the very best technology and ensuring projects are delivered safely, efficiently and to the highest standard."

Tony Matheson - Group Commercial Director

The investment in the AT120 and M3000DH further enhances JGL's self-delivery capability, providing increased drilling power, improved fluid management and greater operational efficiency. Together, the new additions enable the business to undertake larger, more technically challenging HDD installations while supporting continued growth in the energy, utilities and infrastructure sectors.

The AT120 significantly enhances JGL's HDD capability, offering 120,000 lbs of pullback and thrust force together with 15,500 ft-lbs of rotational torque. Designed for challenging ground conditions, the machine combines industry-leading power with All Terrain technology, enabling longer and more complex installations while maintaining productivity in difficult geology. Powered by a Stage V compliant 280hp Cummins engine, the AT120 delivers high performance while reducing environmental impact.

The accompanying M3000DH cleaning system brings industry-leading fluid management capability, featuring a 300 GPM cleaning capacity, Derrick HyperPool shaker technology and a 3,000-gallon tank system. The unit improves drilling fluid quality, increases recycling efficiency, reduces waste and helps maximise drilling productivity on larger HDD projects.

Together, these latest additions strengthen JGL's ability to undertake larger diameter, longer distance and more technically challenging trenchless installations, ensuring the business remains at the forefront of specialist utility and energy infrastructure delivery.
