About Drillco WA Pty Ltd
Founded in 2010 by Lyle Johnston, Drillco WA Pty Ltd draws on decades of hands-on experience in Western Australia’s demanding drilling environments. Lyle’s journey began in the late 1980s in Kalgoorlie, where he cut his teeth in Drill & Blast operations across the Goldfields. From there, he worked continuously as a driller for major mining companies and contractors throughout the state, building a reputation for precision, reliability, and site-readiness.
In 1998, Lyle launched his first drilling company laying the groundwork for what would evolve into Drillco WA Pty Ltd. Today, Drillco is a trusted name in specialist drilling, known for its technical depth, operational clarity, and repeat client relationships.
