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

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.

TESTIMONIALS
We will definantly be using them on all our projects going forward.
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
