Services
Wireline Coring
We provide a full range of wireline coring services, offering PQ, HQ and NQ core sizes for detailed geological sampling. Our wireline coring includes digital downhole camera equipment that delivers accurate hole survey data for subsurface analysis. This service supports mining, mineral exploration and water resource clients by delivering precise core samples and reliable hole information to optimise project planning.
Reverse Circulation (RC) Drilling
We operate trackmounted and truckmounted reverse circulation drilling rigs equipped with compressors and booster air packs. This RC drilling method provides highquality sample return for mineral exploration, coal seam gas and energy sector projects. Clients benefit from rapid penetration rates, reduced sample contamination and costeffective depth capability for accurate resource evaluation.
Water Bores
We design and construct water bores for domestic, irrigation and mine dewatering applications. Our water bore service provides reliable groundwater access tailored to residential farms and mining operations. Clients gain sustainable water supply, efficient irrigation support and effective mine water management to enhance productivity and compliance.
Rotary Drilling
We perform rotary drilling using PDC, blade and tricone bits with either mud or air as the drilling medium. This method suits mineral exploration, coal production and energy sector projects requiring versatile formation penetration. Clients benefit from efficient drilling rates, adaptability to varying ground conditions and reduced operational costs through optimal bit selection.
Monitoring Wells
We install monitoring wells for water level and quality assessment in mining, coal, steam, gas and environmental sectors. These wells provide essential data for groundwater management, environmental compliance and contaminant detection. Clients receive reliable, longterm monitoring solutions that support informed decisionmaking and regulatory adherence.
