FORACO acquires Connors Drilling Canada >>


Since 1961, Foraco:

• gave access to drinking water to nearly 18 million people through the realization of almost thirty thousand points of water rural or urban systems,
• probed more than 1 million meters of under ground (exploration géologique) et
• carried out works of geothermic production, saltworks, of mineral or industrial water, as well as drillings of storage of gas.

reverse circulation

We have acquired a unique know-how in destructive drilling (rotary air blast, DTH, reverse circulation) and in core drilling. Present worldwide, from Alaska to Sahara, we are specialised in drilling in mountainous and desertic areas, in a large variety of grounds formations,for depth up to 2,000 meters.

Our activity contributes to improve the well being of populations by providing access to high quality water. It helps also to improve our knowledge of the geology.

Our customers, whether they be organisations, private companies or government, rely on FORACO to analyse their constraints, propose the best solution and deliver a high quality service in the shortest time

The best proof of our excellent knowledge of grounds and of the regional conditions of operations islong time settlement of our local bases. It is a guarantee of total reliability.

We have built our excellent reputation on an international workforce who is efficient, trained to the latest techniques, polyvalent and knows the true meaning of the word service. Our technical department designs, tests and maintains permanently our equipment in constant evolution.

Personal attention and receptiveness are the keywords of our dealing with customers day after day. We know how to anticipate, change, imagine and innovate as their needs are expanding, not only technically and operationally but also in contractual relations or project financing.

Hydraulic and geotechnical mining

FORACO's vocation remains to work on the mining, hydraulic and geotechnical markets. Our ambition for this new century, is to become an international reference in the area of drilling and a recognised contributor to economic and human progress.

Our strategy is to contribute to improve the access to drinking water in the countries in the process of development to through construction and the operation of simple works or more complex systems, and to continue to explore under ground.
