We're Ready!

The spring and summer seasons have been a tad different than past years for the Geotech Drilling Group of Companies. As our management team and crews adapt to the "new normal" we wanted to update our clients and followers on what we have been up to. As anticipated, the field season started off quite slow as our industry adapted for Covid-19. This time allowed our team to stay busy internally and prepare our equipment for, what we are now seeing as, a very busy summer drilling season.

Between July and August, Geotech is deploying 25 drills to programs all over western and northern Canada, with one exploration program taking 12 helicopter portable drills!

Here are some things our team has been doing to ensure we are ready for your next project.

- Overhaul on equipment, including re-branding, new guarding and mechanical.
- Calibrated SPT hammers with the help of our partner Gregg Canada.
- Retrofitted our Hydracore fleet with new Isuzu engines (more horsepower, less emissions). 
- Purchased 3 Hydracore helicopter-portable drills.
- Purchased track mounted B-53 drill.
- Added fit-for-purpose diverter systems to all rotary air drills. 

As British Columbia moves into phase-3 of the Covid-19 response, the Geotech and Gregg teams are following strict guidelines to ensure our clients' and crews' safety. We are all in this together and we are here to help your next project succeed safely.

New Look, Same Quality Services

As you may have noticed, our team has built a new brand identity, updating our look for 2020 and into the future.

Many things have changed since our incorporation in 1996 which we wanted to capture within our design direction. When we contemplated the brand evolution process, we considered Geotech as a company that...

- will continue to focus on quality and efficiency
- is diversified into many different sectors
- is growing in terms of geographic reach - expanding our brand
- is passionate and committed to what we do
- is modern and contemporary
- is credible, trustworthy and dependable
- believes strongly that our staff is who makes us what we are

Design today is flat, simple, very clean and defined. The simplicity of our new logo(s) portray confidence and strength, while ensuring that the logo will be versatile for all applications.

For our new brand we decided to change the Geotech wordmark to a font that is totally custom and designed to connect and compliment our traditional yet re-designed triangle icon. Utilizing different colours in this new brand will allow us to identify our different business sectors and showcase other aspects of our business.

We accompanied this logo with a new slogan to represent who we are in 2020. This came in the form of something short and sweet; DEPLOY. DRILL. DISCOVER.

DEPLOY: our ability to mobilize a team and equipment, wherever and whenever needed.
DRILL: The core element of what our business is all about.
DISCOVER: The result of our action. Whether we discover minerals on an exploration site, or subsurface anomalies on a geotechnical site requiring further testing. Our team is always discovering!

Together these show our team as being responsive, professional, competent, capable and eager.
