Services Borehole Surveying
Borehole Surveying
Hydrogeological site assessment before you invest in drilling
Service Overview
Surveying
Geophysical and hydrogeological surveys identify the best drilling location, expected depth and yield — saving you from expensive dry holes.
A borehole is only as good as the planning behind it. Our surveying team assesses your site's geology, water-bearing potential and access before a single metre is drilled.
Using geophysical methods and local hydrogeological knowledge, we map the best drilling point, estimate the depth to the aquifer and predict the yield you can expect — so you invest with confidence.
Key Benefits
- Reduces the risk of drilling a dry or low-yielding borehole
- Helps you choose the right drilling depth, casing and pump size
- Identifies water quality risks before construction
- Cost-effective compared with an unsuccessful drilling attempt
Our Process

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you survey without drilling?
Yes. The survey is a non-invasive assessment that guides where and how deep to drill, reducing the chance of a failed borehole.
What do I receive after the survey?
A technical report with the recommended drilling position, estimated depth, casing requirements and expected yield.
