GEOTECHNICAL
Often incorporated into infrastructure development, geotechnical drilling involves the determination of sub surface soil and rock characteristics. Many of these projects include the installation of specific or specialized monitoring sensors to further gather vital data for a land owner. Not only restricted to initial infrastructure design, preparation and construction, this type of drilling extends into long term monitoring and preventative maintenance scheduling in many developments we utilize every day.
THIS TYPE OF DRILLING WILL INCLUDE
- Feasibility Studies
- Soil Investigation Study
- Failure Analysis
- Potential Building Site Identification
- Foundation Design
- Ground Movement Monitoring
- Slope Stability Monitoring
- Earthworks
- Erosion Monitoring
- Permeability and Density Investigation

ENVIRONMENTAL
Paddock Drilling utilizes specialized techniques and equipment borne from extensive geotechnical and water well drilling to provide clients with unique methods to monitor subsurface conditions and assist in monitor, control and mitigation of soil contamination. These environments are often hostile and require additional equipment, personal protection and safety procedures which Paddock is capable to execute.
EXAMPLES OF SUCH LOCATIONS ARE
- Landfill Sties
- Scrap Yards
- Tailing Ponds
- Mining Operations
- Processing Plants
- Manufacturing Plants
- Municipal Lagoons & Treatment Plants

WATER WELL & GROUNDWATER
In addition to ground water investigations, Paddock Drilling specializes in large diameter unconfined water well services for both residential, municipal and agriculture irrigation.
Our teams focus on providing our fellow Canadians with top quality service and satisfaction while installing the most technically advanced water well in the industry today. Preceding every well construction is a thorough meeting with our division head and typically a series of test holes to provide you with absolute confidence your well will produce.
The Gus Pech bucket rig and Bratt 22 test hole rig are both truck mounted drills requiring a bit of space to maneuver and safely operate. With a mast height of 37 feet, overhead lines and trees may be a concern and should be discussed during your initial meetings. Like every construction site, there will be a bit of a mess however, Paddock utilizes a small rubber track low impact skid steer loader to move material and assist with clean-up.
If you need a well, or an assessment of your existing one, please don’t hesitate to contact our office or email Lyle Paddock directly.
Paddock has access to a certified hydrogeologist for consultation and to provide further service to companies and individuals with extraordinary needs and unique situations.
