Complete Water Bore Solutions from Licensing to Installation

Our comprehensive water bore services cover every aspect of your project from initial approvals through to final commissioning. We manage the entire process, ensuring your bore is properly licensed, professionally constructed, and performing to specifications before handover.

Obtaining Water Access Licences – We assist with securing the necessary domestic and irrigation water access licences, navigating the regulatory requirements to ensure your project complies with all state and local regulations. Our experience with licensing authorities streamlines the approval process, saving you time and potential complications.

Selecting the Bore Location – Strategic bore placement is crucial for accessing optimal groundwater resources. Our team conducts thorough site assessments considering geological surveys, aquifer locations, water table depths, accessibility for drilling equipment, and proximity to your intended use areas. This expert planning ensures maximum yield and efficiency.

Water Bore Drilling (Mud or Air) – We utilise both mud rotary and air drilling methods depending on geological conditions and project requirements. Our experienced drillers select the most appropriate technique for your site’s specific formations, ensuring efficient drilling and optimal bore performance.

Constructing the Bore (AS:2016/3189) – Every bore is constructed in strict accordance with Australian Standard AS:2016/3189 for water bore construction. We use premium casing materials, appropriate screen selections, and proper gravel pack installation to ensure structural integrity, prevent contamination, and deliver long-term reliability.

Developing the Bore (AS:2016/3189) – Proper bore development maximises water yield and quality whilst preventing sand pumping issues. Our systematic development process removes drilling residues, stabilises the formation, and establishes optimal flow characteristics in full compliance with AS:2016/3189 requirements.

Completing Form A – We handle all Form A documentation requirements, ensuring accurate reporting of bore construction details to relevant authorities. This compliance paperwork is essential for licensing maintenance and demonstrates adherence to construction standards.

Pump Testing & Analysis – Comprehensive pump testing determines actual bore yield, drawdown characteristics, and sustainable pumping rates. Our detailed analysis provides the data necessary for selecting appropriate pumping equipment and establishing sustainable water extraction regimes.

Installing the Pump – We complete your bore installation with professional pump installation tailored to your specific requirements. Whether you need high-capacity pumps for irrigation, industrial pumps for manufacturing processes, or stock water pumps for agricultural operations, we specify and install equipment matched to your bore’s performance characteristics.
