Engineering-led drilling & compressed utility support [email protected] · +1 800 847 1234

An engineering house organised around specification, documentation, and accountability.

Atlas Copco was incorporated in 1988 as a focused drilling and compressed-utility engineering firm. Our remit is narrow on purpose: build rigs, compressors, nitrogen skids, and power packs that can be specified with confidence by the chartered engineers buying them.

Pure numbers, no marketing varnish.

We publish these numbers because procurement audits should not rely on a narrative. Every figure above is produced from the same ISO 9001 management system that backs the rigs and compressors we ship. The engineering discipline used inside the factory is the same discipline used on the customer site, and the documentation trail is continuous across both.

Standards and approvals current at the time of publication.

When the specification has to hold up to an audit, start the conversation early.

Milestones, quality system, and the boundary of what we commit to.

Milestones

  • 2004 — Engineering group formed, first drilling and pump packages delivered to surface coal operations.
  • 2011 — ISO 9001 quality management system certified; first ATEX-rated ventilation skids shipped.
  • 2016 — IECEx and MSHA documentation packages added to standard product dossiers.
  • 2020 — ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 added; dedicated tailings-handling engineering cell established.
  • 2023 — API Spec Q1 audit passed for upstream oil & gas package scope.

Quality system & scope limits

Every package ships with a factory acceptance test (FAT) record referenced against ISO 8178 for engine emissions where relevant, plus material certificates traceable to EN 10204 3.1 for pressure-bearing components. Not within our direct scope: civil foundation design, utility tie-in installation, and third-party DCS integration — these are coordinated via the client's EPC partner.

Typical project envelope: throughput 500 – 2,000 t/h, engine power 250 – 1,500 kW, flow rates 50 – 5,000 m³/h, head pressure 20 – 200 m, drilling depth 30 – 500 m. Out-of-envelope duty is reviewed on a case-by-case basis before any commercial commitment.
