Wallis Drilling was established in 1964 and is still owned and managed by the Wallis family. The Company has grown in size, capabilities and expertise over the years and now operates over 40 rigs of various capacities.
Throughout the 1970s the Australian Design Award-winning Wallis Aircore system was developed. The Wallis Aircore drilling technique has become the standard for drilling by the mineral sands industry. The nickel and uranium boom utilised the Aircore system for drilling in the sticky clays for which the dual tube system has been designed and proven to handle all types of materials.
During the 1980s, Wallis Drilling expanded its fleet to include Reverse Circulation, Aircore and Diamond Core drill rigs. By 1989, the Company was operating 22 drill rigs throughout Australia as well as undertaking drilling operations in Africa, the Americas and many places in South-East Asia.
During the 1990s, further expansion took place. Grade control and blast hole rigs were added to the fleet, as well as specialised equipment, including lake drill rigs, helicopter-transportable drill rigs and custom-built rigs, to suit specific environments.
Since those early days, the Company has maintained a steady rate of growth, resulting in a present-day fleet of 45 drill rigs, offering a range of drilling techniques, including:
â?¢ Wallis Aircore
â?¢ Reverse Circulation
â?¢ Diamond Core
â?¢ Mud Rotary
â?¢ Blast Hole
â?¢ Grade Control
The drill rigs are track, truck, trailer and vehicle mounted to enable operation in any location.
The various drilling methods offered range in hole diameter from approximately 60mm to 305mm to a depth of 1,500m.
