While the current situation is unprecedented, we want to assure you that Numa is 100% operational at this time and we expect to be throughout the crisis.

The health and safety of our employees remains a top priority and we are complying with all local, state, and government requirements for social distancing. Numa’s manufacturing facility and remote locations are fully operational receiving incoming shipments from suppliers and making outgoing shipments to customers. However, continued government restrictions and potential limited availability of transportation may cause some delays in the supply chain.

Numa communicates regularly with our suppliers to capture updated status information. We will keep our customers informed of any changes that may impact the delivery of Numa products around the world.

As local, State, and Federal entities implement new regulations and policies, we are pleased to let you know that Numa is considered part of the nation’s Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce as determined by the United States Department of Defense. As such, Numa is exempt from recent Stay at Home or Shelter in Place executive orders issued by state government. This guarantees that work operations can continue for our customers.

In closing, we wish the best to all of you and your loved ones as we work together to continue to keep businesses thriving across the globe. You can be assured Numa has the infrastructure, resources, and an unsurpassed team of talented staff to help our customers’ businesses weather this storm.

Numa Exhibiting at CONEXPO 2020

THOMPSON, CONNECTICUT USA

Numa, the world’s leading drilling technology provider, will be exhibiting at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2020, North America’s largest construction trade show, taking place in Las Vegas, Nevada from March 10-14, 2020. Numa will be exhibiting in Central Hall booth C32239 with drilling experts on hand to discuss any drilling needs.

The exhibit will include Numa’s full line of rock drilling hammers and bits, capable of drilling in a wide range of rock formations and conditions. A special spotlight will be Numa’s Super Jaws Overburden Bits, used for simultaneously drilling and casing 5½” to 42” (139 – 1,067 mm) holes in hard rock and unconsolidated ground conditions of overburden, boulders, or bedrock. With its unique design, Super Jaws utilizes wings that extend out to drill a full diameter hole while in the drilling position. Upon completion of drilling, the wings retract back into the guide body for extraction of all tooling to the surface while leaving the casing in place. There is no reverse rotation required, nor any expensive rings left in the hole, which saves drillers time and money in applications around the world.

Super Jaws is available in two versions, Drive Shoulder and No Drive (ND) Shoulder. The Super Jaws bit with Drive Shoulder utilizes a drive shoe welded to the front of the casing, so the bit and casing advance simultaneously as the Drive Shoulder on the guide body contacts the drive shoe. The Super Jaws ND (No Drive) version allows the use of thick wall casing or thick wall threaded casing. The guide body has no drive shoulder and the casing is advanced via a casing hammer, duplex diverter, or dual rotary.

Stop by and visit Numa in Central Hall booth C32239.

Numa Attending Geotechnica 2019

THOMPSON, CONNECTICUT USA

Numa, the world’s leading drilling technology provider, will be attending Geotechnica 2019 taking place in Warwickshire, England on July 10 – 11, 2019. Numa will be co-located with their UK distributor, Stratum Drilling Solutions, in outdoor stand #7 and will have experienced staff on hand to meet with current and prospective customers and partners.

Geotechnica is billed the UK’s Largest Geotechnical Conference and Exhibition. The event was developed in 2009 to bring together all areas of the geotechnical industry, from suppliers and manufacturers through contractors to clients. It is a single focused event helping to promote the very best specialist services, products, and innovations.

Numa offers a full range of DTH hammers and bits for drilling holes 3-1/2” to 50-1/2” (89 – 1283 mm) in diameter.  Numa’s DTH products have proven to outdistance competitive hammers and bits in speed and longevity with each model designed for specific types of applications. On display will be Numa’s Super Jaws® Overburden Bits. Super Jaws is one of the best methods for simultaneously drilling and casing holes in unconsolidated ground conditions of overburden, boulders, or bedrock. The bits utilize a unique design where wings extend out larger in diameter than the casing while in the drilling position. When drilling is completed, the bit is simply lifted off bottom, causing the wings to retract back into the guide body and all tooling can be brought back to the surface while leaving the casing in place. There is no reverse rotation required, nor any expensive rings left in the hole saving drillers time and money. Super Jaws is capable of drilling hole sizes 5 ½” to 42” (139 – 1067 mm).

Super Jaws is available in two versions, Drive Shoulder and No Drive (ND) Shoulder. The Super Jaws bit with Drive Shoulder utilizes a drive shoe welded to the front of the casing, so the bit and casing advance simultaneously as the Drive Shoulder on the guide body contacts the drive shoe. The Super Jaws ND (No Drive) version allows the use of thick wall casing or thick wall threaded casing.
