Since 2016

Brendon and his rig

His dad built his first rig

Brendon started his first business at 13, mowing lawns with a trailer and a bicycle.

In 2010 he started working on well points with his dad.

In 2016, during Cape Town's water restrictions, his dad built him his first drill rig.

People needed water, so Brendon started drilling boreholes.

"Brendan is hands-on and involved with his team."
