Company History
J. B. Ortman of Kokomo started a well drilling business in 1922 with a home
made wooden drilling machine he bought for $200.00. He paid another $200.00 for
a Titan tractor to power the drilling rig.
Since those austere beginnings more than 80 years ago, Ortman Drilling Inc. has
completed more than 10,000 wells with a total depth of more than 1,500,000 feet
-- almost 300 miles! And, wells are only a part of the business!
Ortman Drilling is now a four generation family firm, among the most respected
and progressive in the Midwest. Various members of the firm either now are or
have served in the very highest leadership positions of the local, State, and
National trade associations and professional societies for the water industry.
In addition to four of the most modern custom designed drilling rigs in the
Midwest, Ortman Drilling also operates five fully equipped telephone dispatched
service crews for all types of pump, water system and water treatment
installations and service. Our specialties are well cleaning and
rehabilitation, using state of the art techniques.
Ortman Drilling's pump work expertise involves turbines, submersibles, high
service (vertical and horizontal turbines, split case and end suction),
circulating, pool, cooling, chemical treatment, dewatering, high pressure and
booster pumps. Potable water treatment work deals with piping, valving,
metering, test pumping, filters (pressure and gravity), softeners and all
filter media.
This wide variety of water related work is for municipalities, schools,
swimming pools, parks, industries, golf courses, farms and other high capacity
facilities. Well drilling sizes range up to 60 inches in diameter, and pump
capacities go to more than 6,000 gallons per minute.
The company's professional staff includes two hydrogeologists specializing in
water location and protection projects utilizing advanced computer models as
well as resource evaluation. Design and construction of approved fire wells and
fire pumps are among other professional services offered. You can now see why
Ortmans' motto makes sense!
