McKay Drilling has been at the forefront of technological advancement in the industry to ensure that clients are provided with cost effective and quality drilling services. The company's commitment to this policy has ensured that it remains a leader in the industry.
New technologies have been required to enable the provision of deep hole drilling including rod construction and hammer technology, Boosters and Auxiliaries, and Dust Suppression for environmental and safety reasons.
The company currently boasts what is considered an Australian record drilling a number of RC holes over 800 metres with the deepest being 822 metres in October 2002. The ability of the company to provide this service would not be possible without the advancements in equipment and safety which the company has taken onboard over the past years.
To ensure a safe working environment McKay Drilling has invested heavily in Automated Rod Handling and Breakout tools to reduce accidents related to rod handling. The Rod Handling system was the first of its type in Australia.
The company has developed its own Dust Suppression units and is able to maintain constant production through all conditions due to our development and testing of all aspects of the drilling operation.
The company's commitment to providing the best service has been the cornerstone of McKay Drilling.
Availability has been a key to the service provided to our clients. This leads to greater production and reduces client costs in completing any programme efficiently in minimal time.
