If you have a property in Kingaroy, North Burnett or South Burnett areas we can help you access bore water for irrigation, stock or domestic use. Our team is here to help guide you every step of the way, from researching information on your local aquifers to drilling boreholes that are tailored to the needs of your property. We are here to help you extract water at the lowest cost possible. Bore Inspections, Cleanouts and Decommissioning Old Bores We can inspect your borehole and determine its viability and diagnose any potential issues within its structure. Our team have a down hole camera, helping us identify problems with your screen and bore casing, as well as other aspects of its critical infrastructure. From here, we can recommend an appropriate remedy to get your bore functioning well once again. If our team inspects your bore and determines that it has run the course of its life, we can decommission it. This must be done in accordance with specific government mandatory requirements, which will seal off any aquifers for future use. From here, we can help you access the same aquifers or other known aquifers if you have them or conduct test hole drilling to find new ones.
Exploration Drilling We have a fleet of drills ready to meet your exploration drilling needs. Whether it is Greenfields drilling, resource definition or quality and grade control drilling programs, our experienced team will ensure efficient and precise results for your project. Partner with us for safe, reliable and high-quality exploration drilling services tailored to your specific requirements.

FAQs
How long does a borehole last?
A well constructed borehole should last multiple generations. How long it lasts will be determined by the quality of the materials it is constructed with. The quality of the water will also affect the longevity of your bore, as it can interact with the bore casing and your pump. The volume and geology of the aquifer will determine how long water is able to be sustainably pumped from.
What can you do with bore water?
Bore water may be suitable for a range of uses such as stock watering, irrigation, flushing toilets and washing clothes, and drinking but should be tested first to determine levels of contaminants which may influence its use. If initial testing indicates it may be suitable for drinking, it is always recommended a thorough lab analysis is undertaken prior to human consumption.
How deep should a borehole be?
Boreholes can be shallow e.g. 15m deep, or very deep e.g. 500m deep, depending on the aquifer that is being accessed and the purpose of the bore.
How do you test for groundwater?
If there is no available information on bores or aquifers in the area, a driller can drill some test holes to detect the presence of groundwater on your property. From here, a pumping or aquifer test is done to determine its suitability for developing a water bore.
What is test pumping?
Test pumping involves pumping the bore at specified rate and time intervals. This is used to determine a range of factors, including flow rate and aquifer water levels. This helps calculate a safe pumping rate for your bore to determine a suitable bore pump.
How often should bore maintenance be undertaken?
We recommend a regular maintenance program to monitor and identify any emerging issues before they cause damage to your bore. The timeframes for maintenance are specific to each bore and what it is being used for.
What factors should be considered before drilling a borehole?
Your budget, what you want to use the water for (how much water do you need and what quality), location and distance to where you need to use your water, known local aquifers and their flows and qualities.
