  • Do you have an existing unusable well that needs to be reestablished or decommissioned?

Our highly-trained drilling professionals have done it all!

Tap into Cariboo’s expertise to get the most from your well.

There are many variables that affect the success of a well: water quality, flow rate, soil composition, usage, and location can all have an influence. Additionally, provincial safety regulations might limit where a well can be drilled. Our professional, licensed well drillers can help you determine your best options for a lasting and productive water solution.

Well Drilling Equipment

Cariboo maintains a dedicated fleet of the region’s most modern well drilling and water service machines. This industry-leading technology is designed to have a minimal impact on the surrounding environment. We ensure that all equipment is in excellent condition at all times. Unlike many of our competitors, Cariboo’s machinery can be used under any conditions, allowing us to drill in every season.

Our fleet includes:

2 Ingersoll Rand TH60 Air Rotary Drilling Rigs, Equipped with Casing Hammers
These machines allow for the most modern methods of deep and/or large diameter borehole drilling in overburdens and hard or soft rock formations. With this system, we can safely and efficiently remove drill cuttings from the borehole without contamination. Rotary drilling is versatile and environmentally sensitive, and can be adapted to multiple ground conditions. In some cases, the surplus material can be reused in other applications within the project.

2 Service Vehicles

Our well-equipped support trucks carry tools, materials and supplies, as well as high-capacity water tanks. They are also designed for pump and pipe transport, so that most well drilling and repair materials can be onsite when they are needed, making the job run smoothly.

Specialized Equipment

Some jobs offer unique challenges with terrain, location, or stability. Cariboo is ready with the most appropriate tools for the job. Our DTH Hammers, grout pump, casing jacks, and more are ready whenever we need them, so that we can perform the task efficiently and accurately, every time.

All-Season Tools

The Cariboo team can work in any weather. In addition to blades, bits, and shoes specifically adapted to hard-material drilling, our winter-specific equipment includes power generators, heaters, and arctic-grade machinery lubricants.
