Solid Foundations. Ready Rigsites.
Comprehensive rigsite construction, preparation, and piling services ensuring optimal drill site placement, community engagement, and engineered foundation systems for safe and efficient drilling operations.
From Ground Zero to Spud
Charlvon critically assesses drill site locations to tackle any logistic problems and ensure optimum placement and layout of the rig site. We have a proven track record of negotiating successfully with host communities to provide mutually beneficial work relationships for the rig and the host community.
Our piling division has a solid track record of exceptional contract performance in piling works. We have a pool of talented and experienced piling specialists with strong experience in foundation engineering across Nigeria's diverse terrain conditions — from swamp to dry land.
Our diverse range of piling services includes drilled and driven piles, concrete piles such as screw piles and caissons, earth retention, and ground improvement systems. This comprehensive approach means we design, plan, and install intricate foundation systems that withstand the loads and stresses of modern drilling operations.
