February 18, 2026
Securing reliable groundwater is a growing priority for communities and industries in South Korea, especially in regions where demand for domestic and agricultural supply continues to rise. In Yeosu, known for its mountainous terrain and hard rock layers, local waterwell specialist Yeosu Jonghap Jihasu faced increasing pressure to drill deeper wells efficiently. To meet these demands, the company introduced Atlas Copco’s X28 portable air compressor, enabling rapid drilling beyond 300 meters in one of the country’s most challenging geological environments.
