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

We know the ground in Vancouver
Vancouver is a patchwork: firm glacial till under the upland neighbourhoods, soft deltaic and fill soils near False Creek, the Fraser arms and the waterfront, and tight urban sites where access and dust control decide how a job runs. The right method changes block to block.
City work is close-quarters work — restricted access, occupied buildings, contamination files. We mobilize clean, control dust and water on coring, and keep your engineer in the loop in real time.
How it works
Call us — we’ll come see what’s what.
Tell us the site and what you need to know. If it helps, we come out and look before anyone commits to a number.
Access review, utility locates, and a written plan you and your client can sign off on.
We show up early, drill clean, log accurately, and keep your engineer in the loop in real time.
Site restored, samples labelled and ready for review, field data in your inbox. We don't disappear after the rig leaves.
