Top Drive Recertification Services
Extend the life of your top drive and eliminate unplanned downtime with certified service built for Canadian drilling standards. Canadian Global makes your equipment safer, stronger, and fully compliant.
Level 4 recertification is legally required for any top drive system beyond 1,250 days in service. Most operators don’t wait that long. They take action between 75 and 1,000 days to prevent performance failures before they happen. Canadian Global helps you stay ahead by taking your equipment down to the bones and rebuilding it to like-new standards.
Top drive recertification is a methodical, hands-on process that makes sure every system is rebuilt to spec and ready for critical drilling operations.
Canadian Global recertifies top drive equipment to meet the highest expectations in safety, performance, and compliance. No matter if you’re operating in Alberta under provincial mandates or drilling offshore in high-demand zones, our work aligns with all required certifications, including APEGA, API, and CAODC standards. Every engineer on our team holds active memberships in good standing, so your recertification is legally valid and professionally certified.
