Mark Wallace | Landmark Solutions | Salmon Arm, BC
“Power Drilling and Stabilization Ltd. engaged Spider Mountain Excavators for cased hole drilling on a slope stabilization project along the Sea-to-Sky corridor, where conventional equipment could not safely reach the anchor and soil nail locations. Dan and the crew arrived prepared, integrated well with our rope-access team, and handled a steep, difficult slope with a professional approach to safety and production. The quality of their drilling and field documentation made our downstream anchor installation and QA/QC straightforward. We would work with Spider Mountain again and have no hesitation recommending them for specialized drilling on difficult terrain.”
Meik Pleskot | Power Drilling and Stabilization Ltd. | Langley, BC
We had a great experience. Amazing to see a machine like that on a very steep slope. We had to dig a 8-10 feet deep ditch for a waterline. It saved us a lot of time and money.
Great team to work with. Great response and job well done in time.
Rainer Jaeger | Parson, BC
“Coastal Mountain Excavations Ltd. hired Dale & Spider to execute the most challenging aspects of our run-of-river hydroelectric project, working on grades in excess of 65% slope. There is no one more safe and comfortable in extreme terrain than Dale. He has the experience and technical knowledge to execute extremely difficult work in the toughest conditions imaginable; and he does it all with a smile on his face. He was an absolute pleasure to work with and his professionalism is second to none.”
