Case Study: How Trondheim Drillers Slashed Costs

When renovating the historic Nidaros Cathedral foundations, contractors faced tight budgets and hard granite. By renting a Bauer BG 30 rig (€28,000/month) through supplier NordicDrill instead of purchasing, they avoided €210,000 in upfront costs. The secret? Negotiating a 6-month wholesale price with free operator training – details most renters overlook.

  2. “What’s included in the price per month?” (Insurance? Maintenance?)
  3. “Can I get 2025 government incentives for low-emission rigs?” (Up to €5,000 savings)
