DRILLING
   

P. Machibroda Engineering Ltd. owns and operates a variety of drilling equipment. Our fleet includes truck and track mounted, continuous and hollow stem auger drill rigs; direct push and hammer drill rigs; and diamond drill rigs. For rugged sites, we use our tracked and portable drilling equipment. For normally accessible locations, we have truck mounted drill rigs. We also own a barge for drilling on water. If we can’t access the site with our current equipment, we will design and build a rig to get there. Our in-house mechanics maintain our equipment to ensure that downtime is limited. Whether the project requires diamond coring through a dam, horizontal drilling through a bridge abutment, drilling in the middle of a river or anything in between, P. Machibroda Engineering Ltd. has the expertise and equipment to get the job done in a timely, efficient and cost effective manner.
