How Atlas Plant Hire powers South Africa’s drilling frontier

Juanita Pienaar recently caught up with Jordan Vevers, National Marketing Manager at Atlas Plant Hire, to unpack how the company is continuing to drive progress in geotechnical and drilling industries. With decades of experience, a national footprint, and an unwavering focus on reliability, Atlas Plant Hire remains a trusted partner for companies working in some of the most demanding terrains in South Africa.

Trusted power in tough conditions Whether it’s the parched stretches of the Karoo or the muddy depths of an urban construction site, drilling operations hinge on one critical factor: dependable, high pressure air. And that’s where Atlas Plant Hire steps in. “We supply leading OEM equipment like Atlas Copco and Doosan, known for their durability and high performance,” says Vevers. “Our high-pressure portable air compressors are built to meet the intensity and scale of modern drilling operations, from geotechnical investigations to large-scale piling and deep borehole drilling.” The compressors are capable of operating at pressures of up to 25 bar (365 psi) and are designed for heavy-duty use across industries. “These are not your average machines,” Vevers notes. “They’re engineered to deliver consistent airflow

“We’ve invested significantly in new equipment and in expanding our national footprint. This ensures we can deliver quickly and provide on-site technical support when and where it’s needed.”
