RDE Construction’s Drilling Services operates out of 100 Mile House, British Columbia, in the heart of the Cariboo region and assists customers across Province.

Drilling Services owns and operates a Foremost Dual Rotary DR-24 and a Derex 1340-16 DR. Both drilling platforms are one of the safest and most productive drilling platforms on the market, with the ability to conquer BC’s rough terrain. Unlike older technology and conventional drilling techniques, the DR-24 can drill hole diameters from 6″ up to 24″ and the Derex from 6″ to10″ cased holes. Both platforms rotate the casing while drilling, which gives extreme versatility with the casing while drilling and installing intakes/instruments. Unlike casing hammers, the dual rotary technology gives the ability for the straightest holes in the toughest of overburdens.

RDE’s Derex 1340-16DR is the first of its kind to have the ability to operate 365 days a year. Most drilling platforms are large and are subject to road restrictions during the spring break-up months. RDE’s Derex has been built to be able to operate at 70% road restrictions with 400ft of drill stem and tooling on board.
