ABOUT POLAR RIG

Polar Company History

In 1996 “Rig Specialties Inc.” was formed to serve the installation needs of Pyramid Manufacturing, (a major manufacturer of drilling rigs). Maritime Hydraulics purchased Pyramid Mfg. and RSI in 1998 and became known as MH-Pyramid.

From that time until July 2000 R.S.I. crews have performed the installations of derricks on some of the most modern deepwater drilling rigs in the world.

Through these projects our crews have grown and expanded their skills and equipment inventories to meet the challenges presented by the advancing technology of the drilling industry. Derricks are not just derricks anymore, they are automated drilling machines and the people making them work must step up as well.

In July 2000, the assets of the derrick installation unit were purchased from MH-Pyramid by the present sole owner/operator, John Harris and “Polar” Rig Specialties Inc., a totally independent derrick building company was created.

Polar is strategically located in Conroe Texas, allowing for close access to many clients and rapid deployment of personnel.
