A look inside the day-to-day — from underground service bays to remote exploration camps.
A look at the work clients call us in for — the tough recoveries, breakdowns and shutdowns that keep WA's drill fleets turning.
A client had a drill rig stranded on an old lease. Parts had been stripped off it, so it couldn't be started or driven out under its own power — and it still had to come off the lease.
Drillspec got the call. We sized up the rig on the ground, hired in a hydraulic Enerpac setup, and used it to safely lift and shift the rig so it could be moved — no engine, no drivetrain needed. We ran the job from the first call to load-out.
The rig was recovered from the bush and handed back to the client, ready for whatever came next — without the cost or risk of writing it off where it sat. Another one sorted.
A client rang with a rig down on loss of rotation. Our exploration specialist talked their crew through diagnostics over the phone and pinned it to a failed rotation pump — then loaded a replacement from the client's warehouse and hit the road to Port Hedland. Old pump out, new pump in, rig back up and spinning inside 48 hours of the first call.
One of our exploration leads stepped out of the bush to run a complete rig rebuild for a valued client — tearing the rig back to bare frame and bringing it back to life piece by piece over several months. Clean, precise and built to last, with more rigs lined up behind it.
Brought in under a shut program to rebuild a fleet of Sandvik Leopard surface drills — full boom and mast strips and refurbs, engine mid-life rebuilds, and everything in between. Every rig handed back on schedule.
