GEOTHERMAL
Morris-Shea is a leading geothermal drilling contractor for commercial, institutional, and industrial applications. We field a technically advanced fleet of portable drill rigs for the construction of geothermal closed-loop heating and cooling pumps. Our compact track-mounted equipment’s innovative derrick and feed casing handling system assures drilling efficiency in expansive job sites and restricted work environments. Morris-Shea rigs ensure vertical borehole stability for wellbores up to 12 1/2″ in diameter to specified depths in the most difficult strata.
Morris-Shea can manage geothermal installations from drilling to horizontal tie-in. Our team works closely with project engineers and operators to assure production efficiency and offer value-engineered alternates when challenging subsurface conditions arise. We maintain the geothermal expertise to evaluate the cost and technical limitations at the job site, as well as their impact on constructability and scheduling issues.
