Atlas Copco drives water well drilling in Turkey

ATLAS COPCO'S DrillAir range of portable air compressors deliver flexibility, fuel efficiency, and strong performance in drilling projects around the world. One such beneficiary, Uzman Sondaj, a specialist in underground and underwater exploration, has seen its operations in Turkey thrive with the help of Atlas Copco’s advanced equipment.

Based in Karaman - a region where demand for reliable water solutions is critical due to ongoing urban development and industrial expansion, Uzman Sondaj has been addressing the growing need for reliable water access. Their expertise in water well drilling plays a crucial role in securing groundwater resources across diverse and challenging terrains, including both rural areas and densely populated urban centers.

With the company’s newest portable drilling compressor, an X28, Uzman Sondaj is allowing farmers to tap into crucial groundwater resources. The summers are exceptionally dry during Karaman’s summer period, making efficient agricultural irrigation essential. Due to the efficiency of Atlas Copco’s air compressor, Uzman Sondaj can now drill wells more effectively, ensuring a steady supply of water for the local farmers’ irrigation needs.

Extreme conditions

Atlas Copco’s large drilling air compressors offer flexibility with pressures from 13 to 40 bar, providing the adaptability needed for constantly changing site conditions. The machines also have a high fuel efficiency and long durability.

"We have been impressed by the fuel efficiency of Atlas Copco’s portable drilling compressors, even under the most demanding, dry and hot conditions," said Mesut Kara from Uzman Sondaj. "They not only minimise fuel consumption but also help us cut down on operational expenses while ensuring our equipment lasts longer with minimal maintenance."

A trusted partnership

The long-term reliability of Atlas Copco’s portable air compressors is a key reason why Uzman Sondaj continues to rely on them. Built to withstand tough conditions, these units require minimal upkeep and maintain high performance for years, making them a valuable investment with a low total cost of ownership. This reliability, coupled with the comprehensive service network that Atlas Copco offers, means that operations can continue with little to no interruptions, even during emergencies.

Kara highlights the critical role Atlas Copco’s 24/7 support has played in their decision to stay loyal to the brand: "The availability of round-the-clock service support, along with the brand's extensive service and spare parts network, gives us peace of mind that our projects will run smoothly without unexpected delays.

"Atlas Copco’s portable air compressors are unmatched in terms of durability and efficiency. Their ability to perform consistently under harsh conditions makes them an irreplaceable part of our operations," he concluded.
