We had a BLAST at the National Ground Water Week 2024 in Las Vegas! The most common comment heard around booth #1739 was “This thing will go anywhere!” And they were absolutely right. Our team proudly showcased the Derex 1340-14X dual rotary drilling rig, a true game changer for the water well drilling industry. Mounted on the robust Acela Monterra 6×6, this impressive combination turned heads and sparked countless conversations about its versatility and performance.

Visitors were drawn to our booth not just by the sheer presence of the rig, but also by the opportunity to learn how its innovative design can tackle the toughest terrains and drilling challenges. With advanced dual rotary technology and a powerful 6×6 platform, this rig redefines what’s possible in water well drilling. It was exciting to hear the enthusiasm from industry professionals as they envisioned the possibilities it could unlock for their own projects.

Beyond the machinery, National Groundwater Week 2024 was a memorable experience for its vibrant atmosphere and incredible people. It was a pleasure meeting everyone who stopped by our booth—even the curious dog that couldn’t resist checking out the “beast!” Reuniting with our extended family in the drilling industry reminded us of the strong community that drives this field forward.

The event itself was a sensory delight. The convention center buzzed with energy as attendees explored the latest innovations, attended insightful seminars, and exchanged ideas. Bright displays illuminated the halls, while the chatter of excited conversations and the occasional hum of live demonstrations filled the air. Outside, the iconic Las Vegas Strip added its unique flair, with its dazzling lights serving as a fitting backdrop for an event focused on shaping the future of groundwater management.

As we look back on this fantastic week, we’re already counting down the days to National Groundwater Week 2025 in New Orleans. The positive feedback on the Derex 1340-14X and the connections we made this year have only strengthened our commitment to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in this industry.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who visited booth #1739 and to the organizers for hosting such an incredible event. Together, we’re driving innovation and sustainability in groundwater solutions. See you in New Orleans!
