The Charles Machine Works Inc. (CMW), based in Perry, Okla., is known worldwide for its Ditch Witch® construction equipment. True to its longstanding reputation for innovating cutting-edge utility/construction solutions, CMW has recently developed horizontal directional drilling (HDD) equipment that is being used in the growing geothermal industry.
The company is not only innovative in its product development, but has exhibited an ongoing commitment to incorporating the latest construction technologies and methods into the design of its expanding Perry headquarters. This has included three geothermal projects over the past 21 years — a 45-ton system for its 14,000-square-foot training center, a 160-ton system for its 30,000-square-foot electronics building, and, most recently, a 150-ton system for its 28,800-square-foot product development center.
