Saxton Drilling Ltd is a specialist ground engineering contractor based in Redruth, providing practical solutions for challenging ground and foundation projects. Its work combines drilling expertise, specialist plant and experienced geotechnical engineers to support both domestic and commercial clients.

The company undertakes water extraction borehole drilling and installation, with more than 30 years’ stated experience in this area. Its wider services include mini piling, ODEX retaining pile walls, ground anchors, rock bolting and meshing, shotcreting, soil nailing, drilling and grouting, pressure grouting, quarry drilling and rock blasting.

Projects can involve slope stabilisation, marine and civil engineering, foundations, retaining structures and the remediation of voids or unstable ground. The Carbis Bay project demonstrates its ability to combine piled retaining walls, rock anchors, soil nails and rock bolts on a complex coastal development, while other published project evidence shows experience supporting farm water supplies and larger public-sector water infrastructure works.

Saxton Drilling presents itself as a technically capable contractor for restricted-access sites and bespoke geotechnical requirements. Its specialist equipment is intended to accommodate varied applications, including work where conventional access or ground conditions create particular challenges. The service is therefore suited to homeowners and landowners seeking private water supplies, as well as farms, construction firms, infrastructure clients and commercial or public-sector project teams.
