Circular Mining: How Sonic Drilling Is Transforming Waste Characterisation in Mount Isa

In the demanding terrain of the Snowy Mountains in NSW, CPTu testing delivers accurate subsurface data for geotechnical decision‑making.

Reliable drilling contractors in Cairns delivering geotechnical, sonic, environmental, and remote‑access drilling across Far North Queensland.

Brisbane’s Woolloongabba 2032 Arena project relies on Legion Drilling for critical geotechnical investigations. Their drilling data supports planning for the future Olympic venue.

Every Australian state requires licensed drillers for any bore that intersects groundwater. This protects aquifers, ensures safe construction and prevents contamination or long‑term structural failure.

"Our clients prioritize efficient rod handling and minimizing manual contact with drill rods," Hansen said. “The SRC30DT sonic rod carrier resolves 90 percent of these risks."

These training sessions are designed to help geotechnical engineers, environmental consultants, project managers, and field teams better understand how drilling methods, sampling conditions, and equipment capabilities directly affect sample quality, data reliability, and design decisions on site.

Dual tube direct push soil sampling provides the least disturbed core samples using a cased borehole to reduce chance of cross contamination.

Learn how to install a flush well head after drilling monitoring wells with this step-by-step installation guide. This video covers the correct setup of a flush-mounted monitoring well head, including preparation, positioning, anchoring, and finishing to ensure long-term protection and compliance.

Explore proven installation techniques for above-ground monuments in groundwater monitoring wells, specifically designed for Australian environmental consultants and contaminated land specialists.

Discover how BOS 100®, a Trap & Treat® technology made from high-grade virgin carbons, traps and degrades chlorinated solvents like TCE in groundwater and soil through reductive dechlorination

Legion Drilling, a leader in environmental drilling, site investigation, and remediation services across Australia, proudly exhibited and attended the 2025 Eco Forum in Brisbane

Join Legion Drilling Australia as we tackle TCE (Trichloroethylene) contamination head-on in Sydney Australia! Discover how BOS 100®, a Trap & Treat® technology made from high-grade virgin carbons, traps and degrades chlorinated solvents like TCE in groundwater and soil

Legion Drilling was born in Melbourne over 20 years ago, but all rigs relocated to NSW and QLD during COVID. 5 years on, we are back in Victoria! We have permanently established Geoprobe-CPT rig and Geotechnical Drilling rig in Albury - Wodonga. From this new base, we will provide better support to our clients in Melbourne and regional VIC and southern NSW.

At Legion Drilling, we've been at the forefront of sonic drilling in Australia since 2013, and we're thrilled to announce a groundbreaking milestone: the introduction of our new hands-free rod loader on the Geoprobe 8150 drill rig.

Can Shelby tubes provide undisturbed samples of soft soils and tailings? How can we assess sample integrity? Watch this webinar presented by Prof. Jubert Pineda (University of Newcastle) to learn more about sampling soft soils during geotechnical and tailings site investigations.

New addition to our drilling fleet enhances our ability to provide precise, efficient, and reliable solutions for geotechnical engineers

Monitoring groundwater well water is essential for understanding aquifer behaviour, protecting receptors, meeting regulatory obligations

Molecular biological tools offer novel possibilities for many mining, tailings and geo-environmental applications, beyond their better known in environmental remediation. Join Dora Taggart from Microbial Insights USA on Thursday 21 August 2025.

The DT325 Dual Tube soil sampling system is the gold standard for environmental site investigations. It enables rapid collection of continuous, unmixed representative samples, making it one of the most cost-effective methods for site characterisation.
