Safe, Compliant Bore Decommissioning Services
If you have an old, unused, or non-compliant water bore, it’s essential to decommission it properly. At Qld Drilling, we provide professional bore decommissioning services on the Gold Coast that comply with all local and Queensland government regulations.
Why Decommission a Bore?
Unsealed or abandoned bores pose serious environmental and safety risks, including:
- Contaminating groundwater sources
- Acting as a direct pathway for surface pollutants
- Becoming a safety hazard to people and animals
- Breaching council or EPA compliance
Our Decommissioning Process
We follow strict procedures to ensure the bore is safely sealed and compliant with environmental standards:
- Site inspection and bore assessment to evaluate depth, condition, and materials
- Removal of pump, casing, or obstruction (if accessible and required)
- Disinfection and flushing of the bore to eliminate contaminants
- Backfilling and sealing using bentonite, cement grout, or other approved materials
- Compliance documentation provided for council or EPA reporting
