About Us

Grimes has worked exclusively with the British Columbia government in the fabrication and regulatory approval of new well service equipment. Grimes also played a large part in having Tri-Steer drive rigs approved for use in British Columbia and Alberta. Grimes has also worked extensively with the CAODC and regulators for over 10 years to develop a memorandum of understanding that allows for a streamlined operating environment.
Grimes is a proud member of the Canadian Association of Oilwell Drilling Contractors (CAODC), a powerful organization representing drilling and service rig contractors throughout Canada.
