Mining & Industrial Support

Drilling Support for Demanding Projects

Mining and industrial projects require drilling contractors with the equipment, experience, and field capability to work safely in challenging conditions.

Owen’s Drilling provides specialized drilling support for mines, industrial facilities, infrastructure projects, commercial developments, and resource-sector operations throughout British Columbia and Alberta. From industrial water wells and dewatering support to piling bores, anchor rod installation, and large diameter drilling, we help project teams move forward with practical drilling solutions built around the work on site.

Mine Support Services

Mining projects often require reliable drilling support for water supply, dewatering, infrastructure, exploration support, and ongoing site operations. Owen’s Drilling works with mining companies, consultants, and contractors to support active and developing mine sites throughout Western Canada.

Whether supporting established production sites or early-stage development projects, our fleet and experienced crews provide the drilling services mine operations depend on.

Industrial Water Wells

Industrial operations often need dependable groundwater sources for processing, operations, camps, dust control, and site infrastructure. We drill industrial water wells designed around site conditions, target production requirements, and long-term operational needs.

Our industrial water well services support a range of sectors including mining, forestry, energy, and large-scale commercial developments. See also our Water Well Drilling services.

Dewatering Wells

Managing groundwater is critical for many construction, mining, and industrial projects. Our team provides dewatering well drilling services to support excavation, infrastructure, mine development, and other projects where groundwater control is required.

We work alongside project engineers, contractors, and site managers to design and drill dewatering systems that meet the specific needs of each project. Need environmental monitoring alongside your dewatering program? See our environmental drilling services.

Infrastructure, Piling Bores & Large Diameter Drilling

Large infrastructure projects often require drilling support before and during construction. We support project teams with drilling services for transportation, utilities, energy, industrial facilities, and municipal infrastructure — including piling bores, anchor rod installation, and large diameter drilling applications.

Our fleet includes dual rotary drilling capabilities and support equipment suited for larger diameter drilling in challenging formations, giving project teams the flexibility they need to meet technical requirements on demanding projects.

Built for Challenging Site Conditions

Industrial and mining projects rarely happen in simple conditions. Access may be limited. Ground conditions may be difficult. Schedules may be tight. Projects may involve remote locations, active operations, strict safety requirements, and coordination with multiple contractors or consultants.

Owen’s Drilling brings the equipment and experience needed to work in these environments. Our fleet includes powerful drilling rigs, compressors, support trucks, grout plants, water tanks, generators, excavators, and additional site equipment that allow us to mobilize effectively and support demanding projects.

Our diverse fleet gives us the flexibility to select the right setup for the ground conditions, access requirements, drilling method, and project goals.

  • Dual rotary drilling rigs
  • Large-capacity compressors
  • Support trucks and picker trucks
  • Grout plants
  • Water tanks
  • Excavators and site support equipment
  • Generators and light plants
  • Flat deck picker trucks and tandem units

Featured Equipment

Our fleet gives us flexibility across industrial, mining, and infrastructure work — from large dual rotary rigs to support equipment for the most demanding sites.

Foremost Freightliner DR16

Our DR16 is a high-capacity dual rotary drill well suited for industrial water wells, dewatering programs, and larger infrastructure drilling projects.

Foremost DR24 Rigs

Our DR24 units provide increased capacity for larger bore sizes, deeper drilling, and demanding industrial and mining applications where standard rigs are not sufficient.
