How We Work

Any hydro or geo-technical installation program requires accurate planning and scoping to ensure success.

Ranger Drilling approaches the work from a risk-based approach. For success, it is important to understand the required outcomes of any project. We identify these outcomes and use this information to then develop the project plan and methodology. Ground condition knowledge is important in building the methodology.

Skills, compliance and licensing are assessed to ensure that the right people are allocated for the project. Our Drillers are licensed appropriately for any projects we undertake.

Ranger Management, Supervision and crews are engaged with our customers to ensure project execution meets budgets and timelines. Open communication is critical for success.

Water Bore Drilling FAQs

  • What is water bore drilling?

    • Water bore drilling is the process of drilling a hole into an underground aquifer to extract the groundwater, usually by way of a pump. This type of drilling generally requires permits, licenced operators as well as the bore construction and is commonly used for irrigation, reticulation, livestock or potted water.

  • How long does a borehole last?

    • A good quality borehole that is well maintained can last a lifetime if the groundwater can keep up the supply.

  • How long does a water bore take to drill?

    • This can vary depending on the requirements such as the purpose of the bore, required capacity and the bore depth & diameter. A standard backyard bore can take a day, whereas a deep production bore can take months to complete.

  • What type of drill is used for a water bore?

    • A water bore can be drilled by all sorts of rigs if it has the right operator. It is important the equipment has the capability to meet the bore requirements. Water well/Mud Rotary rigs, Reverse Circulation rigs and Diamond rigs are commonly used for water bores. These can vary in size.
