ABOUT US
EXPERT DRILLING CONTRACTORS IN QUEENSLAND
Proactive has chosen to own and operate the best rigs in their field, offering a range of Geoprobe and Comacchio drilling rigs, vermeer, vacuum excavation units, Atlas Copco, compressors, with a complete fleet of modern Isuzu trucks due to their outstanding reliability.
We are leading drilling contractors in Queensland, capable of drilling anywhere – from service station forecourts, bridges and building footings to roads, mine sites and exploration leases.
As trusted environmental drilling contractors, we provide reliable, eco-conscious drilling services tailored to meet strict environmental standards. Our expert team is equipped to handle diverse projects with precision and care, ensuring minimal impact on surrounding ecosystems.
OUR HISTORY
Since PDS was started back in 2010 with one rig and the two founding company directors, along the way we have grown and now offer a range of late model, quality drilling rigs with specialised rig carriers, support vehicles and crews. In 2012 we have expanded and started Proactive Drilling Services in Northern Territory.
The growth has seen us cover a vast range of drilling services such as environmental drilling, geotechnical drilling and exploration drilling. This has been possible due to our diverse range of drilling rigs and experience within our crews.
As experienced environmental drilling contractors in Queensland, we offer sustainable and efficient drilling solutions for projects that prioritise environmental protection.
We now have offices in Brisbane and Darwin and provide our drilling services to every state and territory in Australia.

RYAN GILBERT
DIRECTOR
After many years working a range of roles in the drilling industry and learning the trade, I founded Proactive Drilling Services with the desire to deliver outstanding quality and workmanship on every job with open and transparent communication with all our clients.
I am always working to ensure that we can supply the best quality equipment for our crews and clients, continually improving and expanding our fleet and inventory.
We pride ourselves on being industry leaders when it comes to our safety standards. Our staff are our greatest asset and we aim to be the employer of choice in our industry so that we can continue to retain and recruit the best.
