Aquarian Drilling

Keep your garden green year-round while reducing mains water costs. Aquarian Drilling has over 30 years of experience installing and repairing water bores across Joondalup and Perth’s northern suburbs. As ADIA-licensed drillers, we provide reliable, long-lasting bore systems designed for local conditions.

Joondalup Ground Conditions & Bore Depth

Joondalup sits on the Swan Coastal Plain with sandy soils and shallow groundwater. Most residential bores are between 18–40 metres deep, making installation cost-effective with minimal disruption.

Joondalup’s geology is a mix of Spearwood sands, Tamala limestone, Bassendean sands and coffee rock. These layers influence:

• Bore depth and casing requirements

• Pump selection for maximum performance and lifespan

• Water quality and the potential for iron or hardness issues

• Sustainable extraction rates for long-term reliability

We design every bore to match your site’s exact conditions for the best flow, water quality and service life.
