Mt Gason Bore at Clifton Hills in South Australia.
This bore went to a depth of 1500 mtrs and is believed to be one of the deepest artesian bores drilled in Australia. The flow from this bore was 14,000,000 litres per day. The challenges involved in such a large project were met with enthusiasm by the company and the results were very pleasing to all parties.

Toowoomba City Council
QDS was engaged to drill test and production bores for the supply of water to the City of Toowoomba. The production bore was for 28” diameter casing to a depth of 650 mtrs. Specialty equipment had to be brought into complete this particular bore with the diameter requested for 28”, the normal diameter is 18”.

Department of Natural Resources and Mines.
