Welcome Wase Enterprises

We’re proud to welcome Wase Enterprises, a water well drilling company based in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, as the latest owner of a 1340 Dual Rotary Drilling Rig. This build marks an exciting milestone, with several firsts and upgrades that make it stand out.

Built for Power and Performance

This is our first 1340 DR on the 16′ deck build with a deck engine, giving it the independence and reliability operators value in the field. We also equipped it with a bigger and better cooling fan to keep the rig running strong in demanding conditions, and paired it with a Sullair 600 cfm air compressor to deliver consistent air performance on the job.

A Strong Foundation

The rig is mounted on a Western Star 6×6 truck, offering a rugged and stable platform that’s ready to handle tough Canadian terrain. Every element of this build was designed to keep Wase Enterprises drilling efficiently and effectively for years to come.

Built with Family

As with every project at Derex, this rig was built with family at the core. Our family-owned and operated business takes pride in putting hands-on dedication into every build, and this 1340 Dual Rotary was no exception. Photos from the shop show the owner of Derex and his sons working side by side — a tradition that defines who we are.

Drill baby Drill

We’re excited to see Wase Enterprises put this rig to work and continue their tradition of providing high-quality water well drilling services in Northern Ontario.

Welcome to the 1340 DR family, Wase Enterprises, we can’t wait to see what you accomplish with your new rig!
