Irrigation

Our Process

We follow a proven four-stage approach to deliver successful borehole projects. By combining thorough site assessment with advanced geophysical surveying and phased drilling, we minimise risk and maximise your chances of securing a reliable water supply.

Step 1

Desktop survey

We analyse your site's geology, review existing boreholes in the surrounding area, and assess your water requirements to determine the feasibility of finding adequate groundwater.

Step 2

VLF

Using Very Low Frequency electromagnetic surveying, we map subsurface fracture zones and water-bearing features before drilling. This pinpoints the most promising locations, reducing risk and increasing success rates.

Step 3

Test Borehole

For larger projects, we recommend drilling a smaller test borehole first. This cost-effective step gathers vital information about water quantity and geology before committing to full-scale drilling.

Step 4

Production Borehole

Using data from previous stages, we design and drill your production borehole to exact specifications. Our in-house team handles everything from drilling through to pump installation.
