The inventors of Aircore

Our founders, Marty and Jamie Wallis, were pioneers in the Australian drilling industry. In 1974, to solve a problem drilling mineral sands, they invented the Wallis Aircore drilling system; a revolutionary technology which is now used the world over. Their passion for invention, improvement and innovation is still very much a part of the company’s philosophy today.

Our drilling services include Aircore, Reverse Circulation, Mud Rotary, Diamond Core and Multitech.
