Surveys & Drilling
Find water with confidence, drill it right
Every successful borehole starts with science. Our hydrogeologists carry out hydrogeological and geophysical surveys to identify the most productive drilling point and the expected depth before a single metre is drilled.
Our truck-mounted rigs, rated to 400 m, then drill, case and develop the borehole, followed by test pumping to confirm sustainable yield and water quality.

FAQs
Common questions
Speak to our team for advice specific to your site.
How long does drilling take?
Drilling itself typically takes a few days depending on depth and geology. Surveys and approvals come first; we give you a full timeline with your quotation.
What determines the depth of my borehole?
Local geology and the aquifers identified in the hydrogeological survey. The survey report recommends a target depth before drilling.
Do you test the water?
Yes. We carry out test pumping to establish yield, and water samples are analysed so the right treatment can be specified if needed.
