Respectful in every way.

Our commitment to protecting the land, water, wildlife and communities we work with.

At Hy-Tech, respect for the environment is part of who we are. Every project begins with proactive planning to limit land disturbance, reduce water use, and protect nearby ecosystems. From using lightweight rigs and efficient water systems to restoring sites when work is complete, we act with care and accountability in everything we do.

Committed to the environment

How we live up to our commitment.

We go beyond regulation to protect the environment. We believe it's our responsibility to develop procedures to protect the environment and to reduce the footprint of our operation, ensuring our work contributes to a healthier, more sustainable future. Here are tangible examples of it.

Reducing water consumption

We manage water use proactively. Our custom system can cut consumption by up to 90%, while recycling and efficient pumping help conserve resources and protect waterways.

Limit ground disturbance

With our lightweight equipment and track mounting options, we do our part to reduce ground disturbance and erosion.

Control noise pollution

In very sensitive areas, our drills can even be equipped with soundproofing components to limit impact on the environment.

Prevention of fire spreading

From basic firefighting training to wildland firefighting tools on our surface drills, our teams can help make a difference to reduce the impact of wildfires.

High environmental standards.

We’re committed to high environmental standards wherever we work, minimizing land impact, reducing water use, and restoring sites. Each project begins with clear environmental goals, guided by continuous monitoring and empowered teams who work to reduce our footprint every step of the way.

Commitments backed by our system.

Our Environmental Management System reflects our values and helps guide decisions across all regions, ensuring we act responsibly, reduce our impact, and keep improving through planning, monitoring, and collaboration. This commitment to doing the right thing is reinforced by industry-recognized certifications. 

Voices from the field

“Hy-Tech’s safety and environmental practices are fantastic. Safety hasn’t been an issue. Hy-Tech’s equipment is always well maintained.”

Innovation driven by environmental respect.

Our commitment to the environment drives many of Hy-Tech’s innovations. From our custom water management system that cuts daily consumption by up to 90% to our lightweight, low-impact drills, we design every solution with respect for the land we work on.

Processes that protect the land.

Our environmental commitment is built into every procedure we follow. From planning to demobilization, our Drill Reference Manual guides crews step by step to uphold best practices and protect natural resources. Each project begins with environmental briefings for teams and visitors, ensuring everyone on site understands the standards, risks, and responsibilities that keep our work respectful and sustainable.

Peace of mind and transparency

We’re committed to continuously improving our environmental practices and adapting to changing expectations. By working closely with our clients, we support transparency through detailed environmental reporting, water monitoring, and performance tracking. Our goal is to set the standard of excellence in diamond drilling and provide lasting peace of mind to every stakeholder.
