WATERBORE DRILLING

Originally waterbores were the cornerstone of our drilling operations. Over the years this work has given us an extensive knowledge of the water table and aquifers throughout the entire Tasman region.

ROCK ANCHORS & CONSTRUCTION

Construction drilling primarily involves the installation of rock anchors and soil nailing. These are then used to retain or stabilise the surrounding landscape prior to building.
