The British Drilling Association (BDA) is pleased to welcome the following new members into the Association: James & Milton Drilling, Pioneer Drilling, GeoEnviro Solutions and Aquifer Energy. Each brings specialist knowledge, practical experience and technical insight to the BDA, strengthening the Association’s representation across the drilling, ground investigation, geotechnical, geoenvironmental, water borehole and geothermal sectors.

Their combined experience spans drilling contracting, test drilling and boring, water wells, geothermal installations, ground investigation boreholes, site investigation, geotechnical and geoenvironmental consultancy, hydrogeology, regulatory support and borehole design.

Together, their expertise widens the BDA’s knowledge base and supports its ongoing commitment to raising standards of safety, professionalism, technical understanding and quality across the industry.
