About Us

Drilling for the last 40+ years and for the past 30+ years we have operated out of Geraldton and specialise in drilling the Mid-West region of WA.

This area incorporates Northampton, Kalbarri, Binnu, Chapman Valley, Eradu, Mullewa, Irwin, Mingenew, Dongara, Eneabba and surrounding areas.

From time to time we do also drill as far south as the northern side of Perth from Wanneroo in the west to the hills in the east (Bullsbrook & Toodyay). We can also head north in Western Australia towards Carnarvon and the surrounding areas. Some mobilisation costs will apply for very long distance plant movements.

Des Garvin is an ADIA licensed driller. He was one of the early committee licensing members for the NWWA (National Water Well Association), now known as the ADIA.

Des has worked in the drilling industry as an owner/operator for the past 40+ years. The early years were spent in both water well drilling and mineral exploration, the last 30+ years spent drilling for water primarily throughout the Midwest region but extending from Carnarvon in the north to Eneabba, south of Geraldton.

Water has been successfully located and drilled for production purposes in the horticultural and viticultural industries including farm bores from Donnybrook to Northampton.

Other clients have included Consultants, DHC (Federal Government), Water Authority and SEC Kwinana (State Government) and Local Government including City of Melville, Cottesloe, Geraldton, Greenough and Shires of Northampton, Mingenew and surrounding areas.

Water has also been successfully located and drilled to production stage for a number of Aboriginal communities at Mt Margaret, Mt Augustus and Ajana regions.
