All Drillwest staff work to the highest standards and ensure they are carrying out work in line with company policies and safety procedures at all times.
“The drill crews worked well together and conducted themselves in a safe and professional manner. Good communication between the driller and client allowed for the navi holes to be monitored and adjusted as needed. This resulted in all holes hit their designed targets.”

“I have used Drillwest on many drilling programs since 1996 using aircore, reverse circulation and diamond coring drilling rigs. Their equipment is always new or near new, well maintained, their backup service unexcelled and their staff professional and competent.
