About Drillwell
Drillwell Enterprises was founded in 1965 by Ken Slade, who at
that time had 17 years experience in the drilling industry. In
1982, David, Paul, and Calvin Slade became partners, as Drillwell
became the largest Water Well drilling contractor in British Columbia.
2010 was Drillwell's 45th year in Business and we are proud to
remain one of the longest standing members of the B.C. and Canadian
Groundwater Associations.
Drillwell boasts a crew of 10 Drillers registered with the province of British Columbia. All journeyman Drillers have a minimun of 5 years of full time experience with Drillwell and have WHIMIS and First Aid training.
This low turnover of trained personnel helps Drillwell to set
standards for performance, and to provide the first class service
responsible for our continued success and growth.
