Webster Drilling is one of New Zealand’s largest and most experienced geotechnical drilling contractors, with projects across New Zealand, Australasia, the Pacific, Papua New Guinea and Antarctica.
Our experience spans a wide range of environments and projects — from multi-year, multi-rig contracts in remote locations and marine drilling platforms to residential boreholes and everything in between.
We’re committed to delivering high-quality geotechnical data, maintaining strong health and safety standards, and finding practical, innovative solutions for challenging projects.
Our diverse fleet includes specialist heli-portable and rough-access rigs, supported by our Porirua workshop, where we design, modify and build equipment for specialised work using the latest CAD/CAM software and in-house CNC tooling.
