When the company started, it employed 4 people, and owned 3 rigs. Over the years, the company has grown and expanded and currently owns 17 rigs, and has over 35 employees in its operations.
Though the company is based in Utopia, ON (just west of Barrie), Walker crews work all over Ontario. Occasionally we have crews working in other provinces or even other countries. Walker Drilling primarily operates in geotechnical drilling, environmental drilling, and diamond drilling (rock coring/exploration), though our crews will sometimes be hired for other services.
After completing his studies in Drilling at Sir Sandford Fleming College School of Environmental and Natural Resource Sciences, Dave was quick to get hired by Master Soil Investigations. After working for 11 years as a driller for Master Soils, Dave decided to start his own geotechnical and environmental drilling company. As President, Dave has built Walker Drilling from the ground up and he is incredibly proud of all the hard work and dedication of his staff. When Dave is not running the company he enjoys spending time with his family, snowmobiling, hunting, fishing, travelling and doing projects around the house.
