Borehole Location Survey Services
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

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

- Environmental concerns (like heritage or native vegetation)

They were quick to respond to my inquiry and quick to provide a quote. Once I approved the job the turnaround time was amazing. Great communication and very helpful to deal with. Highly recommend, very competitive pricing and would definitely do business with them again. Peter Buffington27/08/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. 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. Federico O24/06/2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Greate and professional service! Highly recommend CEH.
