MATECO strives to be a company that is BUILT TO LAST,  and with our commitment to our cores values Trust , Ethics, Service and Technical Leadership, we can look back and conclude that these  have unified and guided all of our team members through challenges and eventual successes.  Our core values have contributed to continued investments in personnel and technologically advanced equipment spanning our nearly four decades.

A recent example of this is our investment in the Marsh Master (MM-2).  This amphibious machine is a light weight rubber-belt track pontoon unit used primarily in hard to reach wetland areas.  With its high ground clearance design, the MM-2 has a low environmental impact.  It is designed to go wherever we need to go.    The design makes for a very stable and high floating machine with a floating load capacity of 1300 lbs.  The MM-2 is rigged with a Geoprobe 420M for discreet soil sampling in wet environments. In addition to front mounted hydraulic winch and an auxiliary tool circuit make it capable of running a variety of specialty attachments, such the the Vibracore and Ponar samplers.  The purchase of this new machine has improved our efficiency at project sights where access has been historically difficult.  

We strive to be a market leader in our business.  We are totally devoted to our operations and strive each day to accomplish our goals.  As we look towards beginning our 40th year, our core values  continue to guides us during these changing times and sustain MATECO as a company that is BUILT TO LAST.

As technologies used for subsurface sampling and installing monitoring wells advances significantly, Mateco Drilling continues to be a leader in this competitive field.  By adding the mid-size Geoprobe® 8140 DT Rotary Sonic rig to our fleet, Mateco offers our clients a complete range of preferred drilling and sampling methods.  

This high-capacity, mid-sized sonic machine has the capacity to advance large diameter tooling yet maintain the compact Geoprobe® footprint.  The primary benefits of sonic technology are very rapid drilling rates combined with reduced volumes of waste. The Geoprobe® Rotary Sonic uses an oscillator with frequency of vibration between 0-150 Hz and maximum rotary torque of 3,500 ft-lbs. Vibration of the drill bit or core barrel can be varied to allow optimum penetration of subsurface materials. The 8140 DT has increased head travel speed, helping it to achieve high advancement rates in some formations.  The GV4 oscillator drive has the dynamic force required to advance 6 inch casing to depths in excess of 100 ft. bgs.  A dual string assembly allows advancement of casing with the inner sampler used to collect samples.
