VERA Industrial delivers production and specialty drilling in places conventional rigs can’t reach such as steep slopes, bridge abutments, shafts, marine structures, and remote corridors. Our rope-access capability, compact rigs and experienced drillers let us place holes accurately, safely and fast for anchors, dowels, drains, shotcrete and blasting.
Bridges & abutments • Highway & rail cuttings • Slope stabilization • Dams & spillways • Marine walls & bulkheads • Industrial plants & penstocks • Remote access roads and portals
Rope access, light platforms and engineered rigging to drill safely on faces, under decks and overhead.
Hand plugger, bencher, stoper, jackleg, DTH, and Air Trac options matched to geology and tolerance.
IRATA/SPRAT practices, CSA gear and WorkSafeBC compliance on every shift.
Hand Plugger Drilling — Tight-space drilling for dowels, anchors and instrumentation where footprint is limited.
Bencher / Production Drilling — Efficient, repeatable patterns for scaling, blasting and excavation control.
Stoper (Overhead) Drilling — Vertical and overhead holes for canopy support, mesh and shotcrete reinforcement.
Jackleg Drilling — Versatile development holes in variable ground for bolts, drape mesh and services.
DTH (Down-the-Hole) Drilling — Straight, deep, high-accuracy holes in hard rock for anchors, drains and controlled blasting.
Air Trac / Track Drill — Mobile production on benches and slopes; quick set-up for larger patterns and line drilling.
Anchor, Tie-back & Soil/Rock Bolt Holes — Clean, plumb holes with verified depths and diameters.
Drain & Relief Holes — Hydrostatic pressure control behind walls, shotcrete and cut faces.
Core / Instrumentation Holes — Access for inclinometers, extensometers and monitoring systems.
Controlled Line Drilling for Blasting — Tight tolerances to minimize overbreak and protect adjacent assets.
Grouting & Casing Support — Grout line set-ups, temporary casing, and hole stabilization as required.
QA/QC & Reporting — Hole logs, as-built data and pull-back verification where specified.
Tell us your hole sizes, depths, ground conditions and access constraints. We’ll recommend the best method, hand plugger, bencher, stoper, jackleg, DTH, or Air Trac and deliver a safe, cost-effective plan with the documentation you need.
