Our commitment to drilling safety extends to subcontractors and suppliers who adhere to our rigid guidelines for project safety, and must participate in the safety process, including a comprehensive substance abuse program. Our safety program is overseen by a company officer with over 30 years of experience in the industry. He collaborates with MSHA, OSHA, our insurers, and employees.

We’ve Been Drilling For Nearly 50 Years
We have successfully completed projects which have included: 6’ diameter raises to a total depth of 2,250 feet; 9’ diameter to 1,800 feet; 12’diameter to 1,250 feet; 16.5’ diameter to 1,540 feet; 20’ diameter to 2,000 feet, just to mention a few. Our complete line of equipment ( including high pressure air compressors, generators, rig-up trucks, etc.) and our strong financial position which enables us to bond our work, give us the capability to perform complete turn-key surface or underground shafts, including steel- or concrete lining, without relying on assistance from our customers or other construction companies.
We would be very pleased to be added to your bidders list for any future projects that would encompass our raiseboring capabilities. We invite your inquiry and will provide cost estimates, as requested.
