Urban Drilling

RedBull operates a division which specialises in a variety of different types of drilling requirements in geotechnical works, urban drainage, construction work, land development and utility services.

Urban drilling work includes the following:
  • Geotechnical investigation drilling for industrial development sites
  • Soakage investigation drilling for drainage design
  • Drainage soakholes up to 150mm diameter
  • Soakholes for residential stormwater drainage in volcanic areas
  • Soakage flowrate testing
  • Rock bolt drilling for earth reinforcing
  • Fence posts and anchor holes
  • Earth rods for lightning protection

RedBull utilises a range of drill rigs for urban drilling, including the Tamrock Pantera 1100 and Gardner Denver 3500 rigs. The Tamrock rigs are typically mounted on a transporter for ease of manoeuvrability and access around residential streets and to eliminate road damage by tracked machine. Gardner Denver rigs are often used on residential sites.

We provide comprehensive reports on flowrate testing and/or geotechnical findings on all projects.
