Soil & environmental drilling · Fraser Valley

Drilling in
Mission, BC.

Family-run soil & environmental drilling — we bring the rig to Mission. The owners quote it and drill it, and they answer the phone.

We know the ground in Mission

Mission steps up off the Fraser: soft river-flat alluvium and a high water table down by the waterfront and Silverdale, climbing to firm till benches and shallow bedrock on the hillside neighbourhoods above. Access and slope are as much of the job as the drilling on a lot of Mission sites.

Right across the river from where we're based. We're used to Mission's steep-lot access and the mix of soft flats and rocky benches, and we plan each hole for the ground it's actually going into.
