Cobra Drilling: Locally owned and operated Edmonton directional drilling company
At Cobra Directional Drilling and Trenching, we believe that no job is too big or too small. That’s why we’ve been taking on the construction industry since 2001, and we still do it every day.
From our humble beginnings as a family-owned company, we have now grown to be a leader in underground utility installation. Sandy McLaren Sr. founded the company in the spring of 2001 servicing the needs of local homeowners and businesses. From there we have become a full-service underground utility contractor that specializes in trenchless technology.
In 2016, the company was passed down to his son Sandy McLaren and trusted partner Jason Derpack. We are proud to say that we have never lost sight of our original mission: to provide quality workmanship to every customer, no matter how big or small their project may be.
Armed with a continuing desire to grow and improve our services for our customers, we look forward to expanding our service offerings even further than before!
