Maximising Irrigation Success With Test Holes
Not sure if there’s water under your property? To reduce risk and ensure reliable outcomes, we offer test hole drilling to identify aquifers before proceeding with full bore construction. This helps you make an informed decision and reduces the risk of investing in a full bore that may not deliver the water supply or quality you’re hoping for.
With our local knowledge and experience, including advice from our in-house geologist, we can assess groundwater potential efficiently and give you the confidence to move forward with your water project.

FAQ
What is test hole drilling and why is it important?
Test hole drilling is the process of drilling small, exploratory holes to assess water availability and soil conditions before installing a full bore. It helps reduce the risk of drilling in the wrong location and ensures your bore is more productive.
Do I need test hole drilling for a domestic bore, or only for irrigation?
While test hole drilling is most common for irrigation projects on farms, it can also be useful for domestic or stock bores where water availability is uncertain. It provides peace of mind and better planning for any bore investment.
How is test hole drilling carried out?
The process usually involves drilling a series of shallow holes in a line across a flat field. This method is beneficial for identifying aquifers, groundwater flow and the most suitable bore location.
