Geotechnical Drilling Services
Reliable Subsurface Information for Better Project Decisions
Successful projects start with understanding the ground conditions below the surface.
Owen’s Drilling provides geotechnical drilling services for engineering firms, municipalities, developers, industrial operators, transportation projects, and resource-sector clients throughout British Columbia and Alberta. With experienced crews and a versatile fleet, we help project teams gather the subsurface information they need to make informed engineering and design decisions.

Site Investigations
Subsurface drilling support for infrastructure, commercial, industrial, transportation, and resource-sector site investigations.
Soil Sampling
Drilling services that allow engineers and geoscientists to obtain representative soil samples across a wide range of geological environments.
Rock Coring
Rock coring investigations supporting engineering design and construction planning in challenging geological conditions.
Piezometer Installation
Piezometer and groundwater monitoring infrastructure installation according to project specifications and engineering requirements.
Instrumentation Support
Supporting monitoring programs and long-term site assessments alongside engineers and consultants.
Site Investigations
Every project begins with understanding site conditions. Our drilling services support geotechnical investigations for infrastructure, commercial development, industrial facilities, transportation projects, and resource-sector developments.
Owen’s Drilling works with engineering firms, geologists, and project consultants to provide the subsurface drilling access needed to complete thorough and accurate site investigations.
Soil Sampling
Accurate soil sampling is essential for evaluating subsurface conditions and supporting engineering analysis. We provide drilling services that allow engineers and geoscientists to obtain representative soil samples from a wide range of geological environments.
From shallow surface samples to deep formation testing, our equipment and crews support sampling programs designed around your project’s specific objectives and technical requirements.
Rock Coring
Rock coring programs provide critical information for engineering design and construction planning. Our drilling equipment can support rock coring investigations in challenging geological conditions throughout Western Canada.
Whether your project requires shallow bedrock confirmation or deep core recovery programs, we have the equipment and experience to support your investigation objectives.
Piezometer Installation & Instrumentation Support
Piezometers are commonly used to monitor groundwater conditions and support geotechnical analysis. We install piezometers and associated monitoring infrastructure according to project specifications and engineering requirements.
Many geotechnical projects also require the installation of monitoring equipment and instrumentation. We work alongside engineers and consultants to support monitoring programs and long-term site assessments. See also our environmental drilling services.
Specialized Equipment for Challenging Conditions
Our fleet includes environmental, geotechnical, and sonic drilling equipment capable of adapting to a wide range of site conditions.
Fraste MDXL
A versatile geotechnical and environmental drill suited for soil sampling, piezometer installation, and site investigation work across a range of ground conditions.
