Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you work with residential clients as well as the local mining and agricultural sector?

    Yes, we design and construct water bores for residential properties, rural land owners and commercial clients. Clients include everyone from Councils for Town Water Supply, through to mines, gold courses, car washes, schools, airports and sporting clubs.

  • What is the best way to position a borehole?

    There are some scientific methods of selecting a water bore site. A local driller can often provide information on bores already drilled in your area. Water divining could be used to select a site or a hydro geologist could help increase the chances of obtaining useful supplies. 


  • How much will borehole drilling cost?

    Borehole drilling cost every borehole will have a different depth depending on all the factors. The actual borehole drilling costs are usually calculated at a per meter cost. So, the depth and type of ground will play the biggest role in getting a cost per meter. We are happy to give you a free quote.
