Great West Drilling provides a range of drilling services to the mining industry. We specialize in Becker Hammer and Dual Wall Reverse Circulation drilling.

The Becker Hammer drill incorporates several drilling methods in one versatile unit. Overburden and unconsolidated formations can be drilled, sampled, and cased with Becker Hammer Pipe using an open face bit. The Becker Pipe then acts as a temporary casing, allowing coring, Dual Wall Reverse Circulation Rotary or conventional rotary methods to be utilized in consolidated formations.

Difficult locations can be accessed with our track mounted drilling equipment and support units. These rigs are equipped for Dual Wall Air Rotary, Tubex, drilling, wireline coring, and conventional air and mud rotary. In addition, Great West Drilling rigs are set up for angle hole drilling.
