LEADERS IN ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP
Hy-Tech respects Indigenous Peoples unique connection to the land, and know that we have a responsibility to honor the properties and wildlife where we’re working. We are committed to continuously improving our equipment and environmental practices to minimize our impact on the land, so that we set the standard for excellence in diamond drilling, providing peace of mind to our stakeholders.
When we start a new project, we begin by identifying and controlling the environmental impact associated with all our services. We then work through each project with specific environmental goals in mind, monitoring and evaluating our environmental performance on an
ongoing basis, and empowering staff to meet these standards and minimize our environmental impact every step of the way.
We value the land we’re working on, and so we’re very proud of our small and lightweight drill which minimizes our environmental footprint. To bring peace of mind to the Indigenous communities where we work, you can trust us to exceed regulatory requirements everywhere we work.
DRILL PAD RECLAMATION
We’re committed to minimizing disturbances to the land caused by mineral exploration drilling, and work with our clients to reclaim sites at the end of the project so that the land can be enjoyed by future generations.
BEFORE DURING AFTER
WATER CONSERVATION
Our commitment to environmental stewardship on Indigenous lands has inspired many innovations at Hy-Tech, including the design of our revolutionary centrifuge which reduces water consumption by up to an astounding 90% per day. Our closed loop system ensures that all drilling fluids are recovered and liquids that typically go to waste are reused on site. This system removes 95% of the drill cuttings from our return fluids, reducing them to the consistency of toothpaste so that they can be safely stored and transported.
