What to know about borehole drilling in FCT
Updated 31 August 2026
Survey before drilling
Borehole Drilling work in the FCT is easier to control when the requirements are settled before materials or labour are committed. Borehole drilling should be planned from the survey information, expected water demand and a clear specification for drilling, casing and completion.
Access for the drilling team
Location still matters even when the technical scope looks similar on paper. Ground conditions vary across the FCT, so depth and yield should not be promised solely from what happened on another property nearby.
Water quality and the complete system
Good workmanship depends on getting the underlying details right. The contractor should explain drilling method, bore diameter, casing, screen if applicable, gravel pack, development, pumping test and how the final headworks will be protected.
Before choosing a drilling contractor
A written quotation is easier to assess when responsibilities and exclusions are visible. Compare the drilling basis, rate or depth assumptions, casing specification, development, test pumping, pump supply if included, water-quality testing and what happens if the first point is unsuccessful.
Skillland can connect the planning information on this page with professionals who handle this type of work in the FCT.
