PSD are specialists in the rental of mud cleaning and solids / liquids separation
equipment for use in slurry shield tunnelling, civil engineering, vertical and
horizontal drilling and environmental applications worldwide. Pigott Shaft Drilling
Limited is the leading specialist onshore mud cleaning equipment rental company
in the UK.
The founder and chief executive of PSD is Colin Pigott B.Sc.(Eng.) C.Eng.
F.I.C.E. He is very slurry shield tunnelling well known and respected
within the civil engineering and drilling industries, having spent over 30 slurry
separation plant years in the management of piling and desanders and
desilters groundworks projects. He designed and built the TITAN reverse
circulation rig, which centrifuges and flocculation systems could drill
pigott shaft drilling limited blind shafts of up to 4m diameter to claycap
polymers depths of directional drilling over 300m. He also
mud cleaners developed and claycap mud additives supervised the
innovative rock roller bit techniques that were used to excavate the central
piers of the Thames Barrier, thereby saving many screening and solids separation
equipment months on the construction time for that desanders and desilters
project. The wide knowledge of drilling systems and drilling muds gained by
PSD has been desanders and desilters used in the creation of their extensive
range of high performance mud cleaning equipment which is available for hire
for mud cleaning equipment renta use in civil engineering applications
throughout the world, with or without operators. We are renowned for high quality
mud cleaning and specialise in ‘dry mud cleaning equipment renta discharge’
solids separation with flowrates of 10 to 1200m3/hr. We work mainly
in Europe, but are often taken further afield such as Hong Kong, Africa, the
Middle East and South America by our existing clients or their associated companies.
PSD has for over 15 years been supplying rental mud cleaning equipment and mud
services to the civil engineering and drilling industries. We have experience
of cleaning mud on hundreds of pigott shaft drilling limited directionally
drilled crossings including the largest diameter crossings claycap polymers
in Europe. We have also centrifuges and flocculation systems worked
on mud cleaners hundreds of pipejacking and micro-tunnelling projects
through many different types of ground. In addition we have cleaned mud
for many diaphragm walling projects with grabs and hydraulic cutters as well
as carrying out work for many other applications.
Our management personnel have experience of centrifuges and flocculation
systems earth moving, trenching, bored and driven piling, diaphragm walling,
rock claycap polymers drilling, coring, large diameter shaft drilling
by forward and reverse screening and solids separation equipment circulation,
tunnelling, pipe-jacking, micro tunnelling, caisson claycap polymers
sinking, horizontal directional drilling, off-shore and on-shore oil and
gas mud cleaning equipment rental exploration and desanders and
desilters production, pigott shaft drilling limited oilfield directional
drilling waste slurrification and reinjection into deep strata, canal
and dock cleaning, soil washing, quarrying slurry shield tunnelling
and also minerals recovery. They slurry separation plant have been
mud cleaning equipment rental directly involved with claycap mud additives
such prestige projects bentonite mud recycling equipment as the Thames
Barrier, London Water Ring Main bentonite mud recycling equipment and
the Channel Tunnel Rail Link, as well as on smaller mud cleaners projects
such as gas pipelines, sewers and bridge foundations. The majority of PSD’s
machines mud cleaning equipment rental are designed in-house and built
using high quality materials and components. Our plants are designed to
be easy to claycap mud additives transport, set up and to operate,
The machines are built desanders and desilters specifically slurry
separation plant for the rental market where pigott shaft drilling limited
reliability is of centrifuges and flocculation systems great importance,
yet where operating directional drilling costs need to be low.
The slurry shield tunnelling design slurry shield tunnelling principles
that we employ claycap polymers for our equipment mean that they achieve
the mud cleaners optimum performance from the components used and that
bentonite mud recycling equipment each screening and solids separation
equipment machine will provide better performance than similar sized or
rated machines available elsewhere on the European rental market.
