Bore Rehabilitation & DECOMMISSIONING
At Local Drilling Services, we provide bore rehabilitation and decommissioning in Kingaroy, North Burnett, South Burnett and surrounding areas. We will inspect your borehole to diagnose any issues you may be having with the integrity of your bore or the aquifer and water supply. If needed, we can utilise our down hole camera to thoroughly inspect your bore and determine the best course of action to get it back producing water.
Factors such as corrosion, casing integrity and encrustation growth can influence the functionality of your bore. Luckily, our team of professionals has the training and skills to assess these issues and provide solutions that are tailored to your needs.
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, by a correctly licenced driller, which will seal off any aquifers to prevent aquifer contamination.

Decommissioning
Every bore has a life span, unfortunately. If your bore needs decommissioning, it needs to be done the correct way in accordance with government requirements, by a suitably licensed water bore driller. Our licensed drillers have the technical expertise to decommission your bore while maintaining the aquifer in its natural state, so it is not contaminated or sealed off and is available to tap again

FAQ
What is bore rehabilitation?
Bore rehabilitation is the process of restoring a bore that has reduced performance due to blockages, mineral build-up, corrosion or collapsed casing. Techniques may include cleaning, chemical treatment or structural repairs. The goal is to improve water flow, extend the lifespan of the bore and ensure ongoing reliability.
When should a bore be decommissioned?
A bore should be decommissioned when it is no longer safe, reliable or needed. Common reasons include contamination, structural failure or replacement by a newer bore. Decommissioning involves sealing the bore to prevent pollutants from entering groundwater and to reduce risks to people, livestock and the environment.
How is bore decommissioning carried out?
Bore decommissioning is usually done by backfilling and sealing the bore with suitable materials, such as clay or cement, to ensure groundwater is protected. The process follows strict guidelines to avoid contamination and to return the site to a safe condition, preventing long-term environmental or safety hazards.
