Comacchio MC 22 Specs & Job Types

  • Comacchio MC 22 Micropile & Anchor Rig

    • Industry‑leading mast articulation for working in tight urban corridors, low headroom, and on steep slopes where conventional rigs cannot position safely.

    • Power and size: Approx. 180–205 kW (about 240–278 HP) diesel engine with an operating weight around 22–24 tons (≈48,500–53,000 lbs) and overall width near 2,500 mm (≈8 ft 2 in) for stable transport and setup.

    • Mast and feed system: Mast feed/stroke of about 4,750–10,200 mm (≈15 ft 7 in to 33 ft 5 in) with roughly 9,500 daN (≈21,350 lbs) feed and retract force for long casings and deep micropiles.

    • Drilling heads: Choice of R3000 rotary head or TEI‑TE1000 drifter, delivering approximately 1,700–2,900 daNm (≈12,500–21,400 lb‑ft) of rotary torque depending on configuration.

    • Clamp capacity: Clamp range of about 45–520 mm (≈1.8–20.4 in), covering the full spectrum of typical micropile, tieback, and casing diameters.

    Typical job types

    • Micropile foundations and underpinning for bridges, buildings, and industrial structures.

    • Ground anchors and tiebacks for retaining walls, excavation support, and slope stabilization.

    • Jet grouting and soil mixing for ground improvement on infrastructure and urban projects.

    • Consolidation and drainage holes in embankments, levees, dams, and rail or highway corridors.

MC 22 overview

The Comacchio MC 22 is a fully articulated, crawler‑mounted drill rig for heavy civil micropiles, anchors, soil nails, jet grouting, and other deep foundation work. It combines high engine power, long mast stroke, and industry‑leading mast articulation so crews can drill on tall walls, steep slopes, and congested urban sites where conventional rigs struggle to position.

Why rent the MC 22 from NPP

National Piling Products is a deep foundation specialist providing rental drill rigs, Intric grout plants, materials, load testing, and field consulting focused on micropile and anchor projects. The rental fleet centers on specialty limited‑access and articulated rigs, so the MC 22 shows up configured for real‑world foundation work and supported by a team of experienced drillers and engineers.

Couple the MC 22 with Intric grout plants

NPP distributes Intric Grouting Solutions and stocks D‑series grout plants such as the D9 and D12 for sale and rent, allowing contractors to pair the MC 22 with high‑shear, high‑pressure grout systems on the same project. Because Intric plants also live in the NPP rental fleet, the team understands how these grout systems behave in the field and can help tune drilling and grouting into a single, efficient workflow.

Top‑notch mechanic shop and support

NPP’s operation is anchored by a mechanic group with years of specialty setup and repair experience on demanding deep foundation jobs, supporting Comacchio rigs, TEI attachments, Intric grout plants, and other fleet equipment. The shop maintains the rental fleet and troubleshoots Intric pumps, drill components, and hydraulics, helping keep the MC 22 productive from mobilization through project completion.
