About Drillspec
The go-to crew for drill maintenance in the Goldfields and Pilbara.
Drillspec Mechanical is a WA-owned drill maintenance specialist, founded and led by two directors who came up through the trade. From Kalgoorlie to the Pilbara, our crews keep production, exploration and underground rigs turning for more than nineteen contractors and miners.
Our key strength is breakdown support — minimising downtime for our clients while running scheduled maintenance programs that keep breakdowns further and further apart. Our team of skilled mechanics is available round the clock, keeping you on track to hit your availability targets.
We also specialise in shutdowns — successfully running multiple shut programs for clients across WA. Meticulous planning, clean execution, minimal disruption.

What the people who hire us say.
Tropicana Gold Project
Drillspec has been a great addition to the maintenance support team at the Tropicana Gold Project for Redline Resources.
Their “can-do” approach to every situation has been clearly demonstrated, recognised, and very much appreciated by the entire Redline team. Nothing seems to be too difficult, and the willingness of the Drillspec team to step up, take ownership, and find solutions has made a real difference to the operation.

At Redline Resources, we believe that if you work on one of our projects as a subcontractor, you are part of our team. That is exactly how Drillspec has conducted themselves during their first several months supporting the Tropicana project.
They have quickly integrated themselves into the Redline team, taken ownership of challenges, and consistently demonstrated a genuine willingness to help wherever required. Their professionalism, attitude, and commitment have been refreshing to see and have made them a valued part of the operation.
We at Redline Resources sincerely appreciate the contribution Drillspec has made to the Tropicana operation and look forward to continuing our relationship and working together well into the future.
Thank you to the entire Drillspec team for your hard work, commitment, and support.
The Drillspec team have the experience to figure out the best solutions, the energy to make sure the job gets done on time, and the attitude to make sure everyone goes home safely. Cannot recommend the team highly enough.
