Harvey’s latest interviewer? A puppet called Lynx. 🎤

Our founder, Harvey Tremblay, joined Keep it Wild BC for a short, fun conversation about a topic that matters to all of us: protecting the environment while supporting the economy and the communities that depend on it.

A little humour, a thoughtful conversation and a different kind of interview. Have a watch!

Innovation takes shape when we work together. Yesterday at MMH in Sevilla, Marco Garrido, our VP of Business Development, shared how Hy-Tech’s innovation ecosystem connects our crews, clients and equipment partners to solve challenges in the field.

From rod handling to drill connectivity, progress comes from listening to the people doing the work, testing ideas in real conditions and refining them together. The goal: reduce physical exposure, support our crews and make drilling more dependable.

Thank you to everyone who joined the conversation!

Our Foremen and Supervisors in Portugal recently took part in drilling fluid (mud) training with Juan-Luis Valenzuela from Can Mud, arranged with the support of Victor Gandara from VG Drill.

The focus: using specialized drilling fluids and lubricants effectively in the field. From preparing and monitoring fluids to supporting borehole stability and core recovery, these skills help our teams tackle challenging conditions and deliver consistent results.

Thank you, Juan Luis, for sharing your expertise, and Victor, for helping bring this training to our team. 👏

Can you believe our colleague Dean Taylor has drilled an astonishing 100,000 metres? Behind this milestone are countless shifts, hard work and experience built one metre at a time.

An achievement like this deserved a personal visit. In late September, Clark Gamelin, Jason Comeau, and Dwayne Ross showed up unannounced at Dean’s drill site to surprise him with a Remarkable Achievement plaque recognizing his accomplishment.

Congratulations, Dean! We’re proud that you chose to build your career as a Driller with Hy-Tech, and grateful to have you on our team.

Our team is at Latin Rocks this week, connecting with the people moving exploration forward across Latin America.

Drawing on our experience in Chile and Argentina, we’re talking about what matters in the field: understanding each project, preparing for its challenges and working together to keep drilling programs running safely and smoothly.

If you’re attending, come say hello. We’d love to hear what you’re working on! 👋

For 25 years, PAIR has helped organizations turn commitment into action and build stronger relationships with Indigenous communities. As we prepare to join the celebrations, we’re proud to reflect on what our own PAIR journey has taught us.

One of our most meaningful lessons has been that reconciliation is built through authentic relationships. It means showing up consistently, listening, learning and challenging ourselves to continually improve how we work together.

Congratulations to PAIR on 25 years of creating a framework for learning, accountability and progress. We look forward to celebrating together.

Hy-Tech is heading to MMH in Sevilla! Visit us at Stand 1046 to meet the team and talk about your next drilling project.

Marco Garrido, our VP of Business Development, will also present “Perforación de exploración: un ecosistema de innovación en acción,” exploring how collaboration and practical experience in the field help advance drilling technology, safety and performance.

We look forward to connecting with clients, partners and industry peers. See you in Sevilla!

Way to go Wesley Keating! Our Training Manager recently represented Hy-Tech at the Society of Economic Geologists’ Drilling 101 training.

The session was a true cross-industry effort, initiated by Jennifer La Sure of Freeport and supported by Hy-Tech, Boart Longyear, Layne Drilling, and Major Drilling. Together, the group helped give geologists a practical look at drilling from the contractor’s perspective.

Wes covered the fundamentals of specialty drilling, including fly drilling and ice drilling, sharing practical knowledge that can help geologists and drill crews work more effectively together when planning and executing these specialized programs.

If you know Wes, you know he’s in his element in front of a room. He has a knack for taking complex topics and making them practical, clear and easy to understand.

Thanks, Jennifer, for bringing the industry together for such a great example of knowledge sharing and collaboration!
