Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between rotary and percussion drilling?
Rotary drilling uses a rotating drill bit to cut through soil and rock, ideal for deeper boreholes and geological formations. Percussion drilling, also known as cable tool drilling, uses a hammering action to break rock. Rotary is faster, while percussion suits harder ground or areas with limited access.
Is drilling affected by weather conditions?
Yes, weather can impact drilling operations. Heavy rain may cause access issues or affect soil stability, while high winds can pose safety risks for machinery. Extremely dry conditions can lead to dust and overheating. Most drilling projects are planned with seasonal conditions and site-specific factors in mind.
Do I need approval before starting drilling on my property in Plainland?
In most Australian states, approvals or permits are required before starting drilling, especially for water bores or geological exploration. Requirements vary by location and purpose. It's important to check with local councils or relevant water authorities to ensure the correct permits and regulations are in place.
