Precision Borehole Location Survey Services. Fast Turnaround. Zero Guesswork.

Borehole Location Survey NSW

Professional Borehole Location Survey Services in NSW:

Not sure where to drill? That’s where we come in. Our Borehole Location Survey services help you figure out the best spot to get started, whether you’re chasing groundwater, checking soil before a build, or doing some deeper geotech work.


What is a Borehole Location Survey?

A borehole location survey is all about figuring out exactly where to drill, based on what’s happening above and below the surface. It’s not just about coordinates, it’s about making sure the location ticks all the boxes: stable ground, safe access, and no surprises.

What is the Method of Borehole Survey?

  • Site Walkthrough: First up, we scope out the land, looking for any potential headaches.
  • Location Set Out: Using high-precision GPS and total stations, we peg the borehole spots accurately.
  • Maps and Reports: You get clear documentation showing exactly where everything is. Great for future reference, and a must-have for council or compliance.

We also stick to the NSW guidelines for borehole survey plans. Here’s a handy factsheet from the NSW Government.

What is the Purpose of a Borehole Survey?

Borehole surveys make sure you’re not drilling blind. They help you:

  • Avoid underground services or hazards

  • Comply with council and environmental rules

  • Get better data for design and construction

What Factors Should Be Considered When Selecting a Borehole Location?

We look at a bunch of stuff before marking a spot:

  • Type and stability of the ground

  • Proximity to existing buildings, services, or roads

  • Access for rigs and equipment

  • Water run-off and drainage

  • Environmental concerns (like heritage or native vegetation)

Our Borehole Location Survey Services Include:
  • On-site inspections and desktop studies

  • Borehole set-out with GPS and total station

  • Drawing and report preparation

  • Coordination with engineers or environmental teams

  • Compliance-ready plans for lodgement

CEH Consulting helped us during a first time doing a house construction and subdivision. All the staff were great but Matt Smith in particular carried out all of the required surveys, redefinition plan, CDC approval, land title paperwork etc. very professionally and in a timely manner. He also offered general advice that looking back really helped us in the process as it's a bit confusing if you haven't done it before. We definitely wouldn't have gotten the project wrapped up in the timeframe we did without Matt and the CEH team. Would highly recommend.

It has been a pleasure dealing with Matthew and the team at CEH Consulting.

My wife and I are based on the NSW South Coast and have used CEH Consulting for surveying work. Unlike some of the other local surveyors we approached, Matthew provided a quote for the work quickly and the quote was really fair and reasonable.

Once we accepted the quote, the team was on-site shortly after and the surveying was completed a lot faster than we expected. The surveying team were very polite and courteous, and easy to deal with.

The surveying plans/documents produced were spot on, with no issues. When I had to drop off the signed documents to the CEH office (while wrangling a very grumpy two-year old!), the reception staff were wonderful and really helpful, even getting the door for us on the way out.

Throughout the entire process, Matthew and the team were responsive in their communication and very efficient. With Matthew's experience in the industry, he was able to guide us along the way, which was greatly appreciated given our inexperience.

Overall, for anyone undertaking a subdivision/development and seeking quality service, we could not recommend CEH Consulting more highly. Thank you for a hassle-free experience

Very happy with the service provided by CEH. We needed a detail survey of our entire lot which contains many retaining walls, trees and difficult to access parts. I submitted a request to quote on 21 August 2023, inspection took place 8 Sept 2023 and we received the survey on 20 September 2023. I obtained 3 quotes and CEH were by far the best value. The report formats are PDF and .DWG files which I can now provide to the design engineers. I would use CEH again and will be recommending CEH to my friends and family.
