Paycore Drilling offers a full range of drilling services to the Exploration, Oil & Gas, and Construction industries. We offer a range of adaptable drilling equipment for everything from remote access sites to civil and transportation projects near major routes.  A typical geo-technical project for us can involve a track mounted or heli-portable drill, using solid stem or hollow stem auger. Diamond Core Drilling is the preferred method when drilling takes us into rock. SPT split spoon samples, shelby tubes, vane sheer, and packer testing are all part of a normal day for us whether it be in Kamloops, B.C. or Dawson City, Yukon. Once the borehole and required testing is complete, we often install Monitor Wells, Slope Indicators (S.I’s), and piezometers in the borehole. Pipeline Projects and Bridge design investigations are just a couple of the many projects we find ourselves on.  Exploration projects often take us all over Canada from Eastern Quebec to the Golden Triangle (North of Stewart, B.C.) They often run for long duration’s and can range from grass roots exploration site in the Abitibi of Quebec to an Operating Mine in B.C.’s interior. NQ and HQ wireline core barrels to more specialized items such as HQ3 split tube and PQ core barrels are commonly used whether it be with skid drill North of Whitehorse, Yukon or a Heli-portable track drill North of Smithers, B.C. near Hwy 37.  Drilling for Environmental soil sampling involves careful handling of cuttings and sample material. Our crews have experience with the delicate nature of this work. A Phase II environmental assessment can often involve drilling. These projects have taken our Pioneer Drills from Blue River, B.C. through to Kamloops, B.C. and all the way out to Hope, B.C., as well as all the way north to the Peace Country, and up the Alaska Highway on limited access sites. Our Larger Multi-Purpose track drills often travel through Prince George, B.C. and North to Fort St. John or West to Smithers.  In addition to our drilling services, we also offer construction support, earth moving, Hydro-Vac, and water management (including de-watering) services.  Whether you have a small program with basic requirements or a large program with in depth logistics we can provide basic services or complete turn-key programs.
