Community Engagement

The week long winter storm and freeze in Texas caused many in the greater Houston area to endure broken water pipes and damages.  It was also difficult, even for contractors, to locate the much needed plumbing repair parts.  With the generous help of Calvin at AccuFab in Topeka, KS and Brian Miller in Johnstown, NY, Challenger Drilling, Inc. was able to locate and ship the needed items into the hands of those who needed them.  Team work at it's best!

Our thoughts are with all those affected by Hurricane Harvey.  We are surrounded by those displaced from their homes as well as the first responders and droves of volunteers who are lending a hand to those in need.  In an effort to help, Challenger Drilling, Inc. dropped off a carload of needed medical supplies for the first responders at 3P Offroad.  What an amazing group of people and volunteers who are literally saving lives!
