Turn the rig
you have into
what you need.
Rig transformation / Built for the next frontier
Transform your water well drilling rig for mineral exploration.
Keep the machine you know and build the capability the next job demands.
Serving drillers since 1978.
01 / The transformation
Keep the rig.
Expand the mission.
The rig you already own can become the platform for an entirely new class of work. RDSI turns proven water well equipment into a purpose-built mineral exploration machine.
There is no need to sell a familiar rig and start over. We assess the chassis, mast, hydraulics, controls, tooling, and support systems, then engineer the conversion around the demands of exploration drilling.
Our technicians are trained and experienced in complete rig transformations, from the first inspection through fabrication, installation, testing, and field-ready commissioning.
Start with
what you have.
We evaluate your current water well rig, its condition, and the mineral exploration work you want it to perform.
Built around
the next job.
RDSI plans the mechanical, hydraulic, structural, and control changes as one integrated transformation.
Ready for
the field.
We test the converted systems, verify operation, and stand behind the finished rig when it returns to work.
02 / Built around your operation
Plan the change.
Build it right.
Know the rig before we change it.
We document the existing machine, define the exploration goal, and make the scope clear before fabrication begins.
Every system works together.
Our technicians coordinate structure, hydraulics, controls, tooling, and support equipment so the conversion works as a complete rig.
Backed after the build.
RDSI supports the transformed rig after delivery and stands behind the workmanship built into it.
03 / A practical path forward
New capability.
Familiar machine.
Keep the chassis, systems, and operating knowledge your crew already trusts while adding the capability to pursue mineral exploration work. RDSI manages the transformation as one coordinated project.
04 / What we stand for
For the work.
For the people.
For what matters.
Rooted in Christian faith.
Driven by family.
Proud to serve America.

Christian faith shapes the way we serve: with honesty, care, and a commitment to stand behind our work.
