History
Josh Wettlaufer and 3 employees, began EnviroBore Ltd. in September 2010.
“We started out in a friend’s field parking lot with a pick-up truck, two semis, a water truck and a Ditch Witch JT100 drill,”
– Josh Wettlaufer.
The 4 man team travelled from one corner of the province to another.
In July 2011, things took off when EnviroBore landed a contract with Willbros Canada on the Surmont ll Project. The work done by EnviroBore on this project lasted from July 2011 into 2014.
During that time, EnviroBore continued to grow. Adding more projects, experience, employees, equipment and moving into our office and shop in 2013, where we continue to call home.
Since the beginning, EnviroBore 2018 Ltd has grown from 4 men and one drill to a thriving company with senior management, a substantial fleet and equipment, an office team, shop employees and field crews.
