Operational Experience:

  • Collaring challenges for deep shaft construction projects.
  • Mechanized advancement of deep large diameter shafts.
  • Conventional & Unconventional lining of deep shafts.
  • Innovative solutions for shaft advancement through challenging ground conditions.
  • Large diameter river intake and collector well rehabilitation.
  • Larger diameter deep Production Well’s and their development.
  • Shallow and Deep injection well construction
  • Deep well pumping applications.
  • De-watering well construction for both (consolidated and unconsolidated) formations.


Over the past (10) years I’ve had the pleasure of guiding and collaborating with a team who specializes in deep, large diameter shaft drilling projects over a variety of geologic settings. The goal has been to encourage and develop a hands-on approach to problem solving for both project and group sustainability.
