Water Boring in Mudgee NSW 2850
Experience & Expertise
McKechnie Drilling Services in Mudgee has the expertise, equipment and licensing to handle a variety of domestic and commercial drilling jobs.
Our licensed and experienced team can help with a variety of water drilling needs including irrigation, stock, domestic and town water supply bores.
We design and construct water bores for everything from residential properties through to orchards, vineyards and golf courses through to airports, mines, schools and sporting clubs.
Before any drilling can take place, landowners are required by law to obtain the relevant licensing, which we can help you with.
We’ll help you lodge your water bore license application, undertake research on the area, inspect the property, and assist with bore location. We service Orange, Dubbo, Mudgee, Bathurst and surrounding areas.
Bore Repairs
We are fully-equipped to perform repairs and cleanouts on existing bores.
On projects where we consult and construct, we use a down-the-hole camera to determine the cause of any problems inside the bore.
This enables our rig manager to determine the best course of action to rectify the problem immediately.
We take the necessary precautions and endeavour to minimise costs for our customers wherever possible.
Drilling Specialists
McKechnie Drilling Services provides a variety of water drilling services including pump testing.
Pump testing is done by pumping out water at a controlled rate to measure the water-level response. This helps in identifying the hydraulic properties of the aquifers, performance and aquifer boundaries.
We can carry out pumping tests on your bore to determine its long-term pumping capacity. These pumping tests can be carried out on any bore, be it for irrigation, stock or domestic use.
This is also a good idea if you have purchased a property with an existing bore but have not been given any details of the bore.
