Exploration Drilling
Core drilling to probe ore deposits and provide geologists with high-quality core samples for geological logging and resource evaluation.
Drill Tech Services delivers professional exploration and production drilling services – from core exploration to DTH, RC and mud rotary drilling – backed by modern equipment, trained crews and a strong safety culture.
Drill Tech Services is a specialist drilling contractor supplying exploration and production drilling services across Southern Africa. We support mining, renewable energy and infrastructure projects with reliable, high-quality drilling and test pumping.
Our team combines modern, well-maintained drill rigs with experienced operators to deliver safe, efficient and accurate drilling outcomes – even in demanding terrain and remote locations.
Clear site procedures, PPE standards and trained crews on every drilling project.
Track-mounted and truck-mounted drill rigs suitable for a wide range of geological formations.
Hands-on involvement from management, ensuring communication, accountability and quality.
Complete drilling solutions from exploration to production and pump testing across Southern Africa.
Core drilling to probe ore deposits and provide geologists with high-quality core samples for geological logging and resource evaluation.
Down-the-hole hammer drilling for hard rock formations – fast penetration, efficient cuttings removal and excellent hole straightness.
Reverse circulation drilling using dual-wall rods to bring sample cuttings to surface via the inner tube in a continuous, air-driven flow.
Open-hole, fluid-based drilling ideal for unconsolidated formations, using drilling mud to stabilise the hole and lift cuttings to surface.
Dual-wall systems with an inner tube allow cuttings to be transported up the drill string in a stable, continuous flow for deeper holes.
Water-powered hammer solutions that use pressurised water both to power the hammer and bring cuttings to surface where air is not suitable.
Professional borehole grouting to seal the annulus between casing and formation, protecting lower aquifers from surface contamination.
Constant-rate pumping tests with water-level monitoring to evaluate borehole yield and aquifer characteristics for long-term abstraction.
A modern fleet of track-mounted rigs, compressors and support vehicles ready for rapid deployment.
Partner with a contractor that understands production targets, safety and environmental responsibility.
Experience across multiple drilling methods – allowing us to match the right technique to your ground conditions and project requirements.
We plan around your programme, with transparent communication and realistic timelines from mobilisation through to demobilisation.
Clear procedures, PPE standards and well-maintained equipment to protect your people, our crews and the environment.
Direct access to decision-makers and a contractor who treats your site as if it were their own – with pride in quality and housekeeping.
1. Project briefing – understand your drilling scope, geology and timelines.
2. Site visit & method selection – confirm access, water/air supply and the best drilling technique.
3. Mobilisation – rigs, compressors and support vehicles moved to site.
4. Drilling & sampling – daily reporting, QA and safety checks.
5. Grouting & test pumping – where required, finalise boreholes and confirm yields.
