Tender Advertisement #1405862

Due to the remote locations in which the drill rig will be deployed in Tuvalu, with limited technical capacity or service providers or access to suppliers of equipment and materials, a man portable drill rig option is being sought. The man portable drilling technology should be robust, portable and relatively low technology, that can be easily transported across and between islands in small boats, is able to be setup and operated without need for specialised equipment, and with readily accessible consumables and spare parts into the future. Training and testing will be required in country.
The drilling rig and related equipment is to be delivered to Funafuti, Tuvalu, and will be used in the outer atoll islands of Tuvalu.
