In a landmark engineering feat, three TYSIM KR Series rotary drilling rigs—KR50, KR60, and KR90—have been deployed to tackle the challenging terrain of Patong’s forested coastal region, enabling the construction of a high-end apartment and luxury villa complex with minimal environmental disruption. The project, launched on November 27, 2024, aims to complete over 2,200 foundation piles in sandstone and hardened rock formations by the end of this year, setting a new standard for precision and efficiency in Thailand’s construction sector.
Overcoming complex geology in Patong: TYSIM drilling rig enables ecological development
The Patong Forest development, nestled between lush tropical woodlands and the Andaman Sea, is designed to harmonize upscale living with ecological preservation. However, the site’s complex geological mix of sandstone layers and ultra-hard rock—posed significant challenges for foundation work. Traditional drilling methods risked prolonged delays and excessive environmental damage. Enter TYSIM KR Series rigs, engineered to drill 500mm-diameter boreholes to depths of 12 meters with unmatched speed and accuracy.
Multiple TYSIM equipment units are engaged in the local serviced apartment infrastructure project.
Since its establishment in 2023, TYSIM Thailand Company has provided comprehensive solutions to local clients through localized operations and technical service networks, including equipment sales, rental, customized construction plans, and full life cycle maintenance. Mr. Phuwadon Khruasane (Peter), partner and head of TYSIM Thailand, stated: “TYSIM equipment not only meets construction needs but also highly aligns with Phuket’s sustainable development goals.” Local project owners have regarded TYSIM as a synonym for high-quality piling projects.”
Global Implications &TYSIM’s Vision
The Patong project, set between tropical forests and the Andaman Sea, has captured the attention of Southeast Asian developers facing similar geological challenges. To address the industry’s long – standing issues, TYSIM intends to present this project and keep focused on promoting “smart, sustainable drilling solutions.” TYSIM chairman Mr. Xin Peng emphasized the significance of the rotary drilling rig. He said the KR Series goes far beyond mere machinery. Instead, it serves as a crucial link between human aspirations and environmental stewardship. From the forested landscapes of Patong to large – scale urban projects, TYSIM is actively redefining the boundaries of what’s achievable in modern construction, enabling developers to navigate complex terrains while maintaining balance.
