At North West Drilling, we combine modern equipment with decades of expertise to ensure that every bore we construct is built to last.

Our approach prioritises the needs of our clients while protecting valuable groundwater resources for future generations.  This means properly cementing and sealing each bore with cement grout and using the highest quality PVC bore casing available. From helping families secure a reliable water supply to supporting farms and businesses with groundwater solutions, we take pride in being a dependable partner for Victorians.
