Drilling & Blasting Experts in Canada For Over 50 Years
Westrail Construction Ltd. owns and operates all the drilling blasting equipment that we use, ensuring that our clients do not have to compete with other companies for our equipment. We use up-to-date technology and in fact, have developed our own drilling and blasting software to improve efficiency.
With a full line of eight Sandvik (Drilltech) rotary blast hole drills from the D40 to the D90, we are capable of drilling 6-1/2″ (165 mm) up to 13-1/4″ (337 mm) holes. With drill depths up to 138 feet (42 metres) no job is too small or too large.
We also run a full line of service and fuel trucks for full support of all our equipment, ensuring that your drilling blasting project is completed on time without any delays.
Our new Westrail specially designed heavy haul trailer gives us the opportunity to move our drills anywhere they’re needed, no matter how remote.
After 50 years of moving our own equipment we now offer complete equipment and logistic moving services. We offer Tandem and Tri-Drive semi’s with multiple axel and step deck trailers. With up to 13 axel capabilities we can meet all demands.
