General Info

Drilling Service Company is a specialty contractor involved in the construction of drilled shaft foundations, pile driving, earth retention systems, rock anchors and tiebacks, pin piles, dewatering systems, limited-access drilling, and pressure grouting. Our work takes us deep underground to construct the support structures that are invisible to the street population, but are nonetheless essential for the integrity of the places where people live, work and entertain. With drilling experience in every conceivable subsurface condition, the personnel at Drilling Service Company are longtime experts in the field. From the simplest drill-only job to the most difficult turnkey project, the company has the equipment and personnel required for any drilling project. Repeat customers regularly request that certain employees be assigned to future projects, confirming the caliber of our employee base. Drilling Service Company was founded in 1955 by Clifford W. Murphy - appropriate ly from the basement of his home. In 1979, Clifford's brother and longtime employee Marshall R. Murphy bought the company. Marshall's three sons, Mark, Bruce, and Jeffrey Murphy now own the business and have worked for the company since they were teenagers. Our company's headquarters are located on 20 acres in Bridgeton, Missouri. Most of the company's work is located within a 300-mile radius of St. Louis, though recent projects have taken its crews to Indiana, Iowa, Mississippi and Kansas.
