Our Purpose

Drilling for Change,
Through Appropriate Technology

PAT Purpose

“We believe that when communities have dependable water sources, they enjoy better health, more education and economic opportunities, stronger local business, and improved daily life.”

Therefore, we, PAT-Drill, aim to help communities access clean water with reliable and appropriate drilling technology that fits their local needs. We offer more than just drilling equipment. We provide solutions that communities can use and maintain themselves, supporting them to grow and succeed now and in the future on their own.

PAT Vision

We want every community to have clean water, even in remote or underserved areas. We see a future where lack of water no longer stops people from living healthy, complete lives.

We believe communities can manage their own water systems after getting the right and strong start. The first step is often the hardest — this is why we’re here. We provide appropriate technology and knowledge to help communities overcome initial barriers. Once established, they can continue independently.

With the right technology for each place, we see clean water flowing freely, supporting health and success for everyone.

PAT Mission

We design, manufacture, and deliver easy-to-use, reliable, and affordable drilling machines and equipment from our base in Thailand that fits each community’s needs. Our production makes sure that the tools are designed for local conditions and can be serviced for a long time.

We don’t just only provide tools. We also build partnership you and communities, giving full training and ongoing help so you can manage you own water. By working together and using sustainable methods, we create positive change that continues for years and help build a future where everyone has clean water.

PAT Foundation

We stand firmly on the belief that clean water is a fundamental human right, essential for both healthy and strong communities. Our work is built on these 4 core principles:

Our 4 core principles

Community-Centred Approach

We put community needs and voices first in every project. We work directly with local or ground people to create solutions that fit their specific situation. Before designing, we take time to understand local conditions, daily practices, and traditions related to water and borehole drilling. This helps us develop technology that works well in community life, respects local values, and builds on what people already know.

Health and Safety First

We follow strong standards in everything we do because everyone deserves prevention and protection. We take responsibility for our team, clients, partners, and communities through good training, quality equipment, and careful practices that prevent accidents and ensure clean water delivery.

Environmental Responsibility

We protect natural resources through careful and standard drilling practices. We use sustainable and environment-friendly methods and drilling materials, including local environment knowledge, adapt our tools to work with local materials when possible, and help communities learn both technical and traditional ways to manage water. This ensures clean water while protecting local ecosystems for future generations.

Collaboration and Knowledge Sharing

We believe in working together and sharing what we know. We partner with local communities, NGOs, and government agencies to share skills, save traditional water knowledge, build local abilities, and make sure our projects continue to help communities long after installation.

Our Approach

Adaptable to Diversity

We create solutions that fit the unique needs of each community. Our equipment works with different types of geological formations, respects local customs and practices, and matches what each community can afford and maintain.

Affordable and Accessible Everywhere

We bring water solutions to even the most remote places at prices communities can afford. Our equipment can reach difficult areas and work in tough conditions so that no community gets left behind in getting clean water.

Built to Last, Built for Impact

We make strong, reliable equipment that keeps working year after year, even in harsh conditions. Our drilling machines are simple to maintain and repair using local parts whenever possible, ensuring communities have clean water for a long time.

Efficiency Meets Sustainability

We constantly improve our designs to use less resources while getting better results. We also find the right balance between making equipment that works well and protecting the natural environment that communities depend on.

At PAT-Drill, we’re not just about providing equipment and drilling wells. We’re committed to nurturing hope, health, and prosperity. By providing simple tools, practical knowledge, and ongoing support for drilling operation and water access, we help communities take control of their future in a sustainable way.

Together, we’re building a world where clean water flows for all, creating lasting positive change for generations to come.
