M&J Drilling Services Ltd

M&J Drilling Services was founded in 1982 to offer specialist contracting services in the investigation and stabilisation of mine workings and mineshafts, concentrating its activities in the South Staffordshire Coalfield. It has grown steadily, investing heavily to provide state-of-the-art drilling rigs and associated equipment, and now operates nationally from its base in the West Midlands.

The company focuses its operations on the development and delivery of geotechnical solutions to various ground problems. The main activities of the company are drilling (rotary and rotary percussive) and grouting, and the following list gives details of the various applications we undertake:

  • Rotary investigation by open hole, core and Sonic drilling techniques.
  • Stabilisation of shallow mine workings (drilling and pressure grouting).
  • Soil Nails & Ground Anchors – to improve slope/ embankment stability.
  • Other underground stabilisation work (e.g. cellars and gas tanks).

  • Mineshaft location and treatment.
  • Void infilling (large mine workings).
  • Sewer and tunnel grouting.
  • Installation of geothermal heating loops.
