Legion Drilling now in Townsville with Geoprobe 7822DT
Geotechnical & Environmental Drilling Services in Townsville & North Queensland
Legion Drilling now operates a Geoprobe 7822DT direct push rig from a dedicated base in Townsville, significantly improving service delivery across North Queensland. This strategic expansion allows us to provide faster response times, more competitive pricing, and greater consistency for environmental and geotechnical drilling projects throughout the region.
Why We Expanded into Townsville
With growing demand for drilling services in North Queensland, Legion Drilling made the decision to establish a permanent presence in Townsville. This move reduces long-distance travel from our Cairns base and delivers tangible benefits to clients across the region, including:
Faster mobilisation and reduced wait times
Lower mobilisation costs, particularly for projects in Mt Isa and other inland Queensland locations
More consistent and reliable service delivery
Improved access to Weipa, Mackay, and surrounding areas
Improved Safety Through Reduced Road Travel
At Legion Drilling, the safe operation of heavy vehicles is one of our highest priorities. By establishing a Townsville base, we have significantly reduced the annual kilometres travelled by our crews on Queensland roads. This directly lowers risk to our team and the wider community while maintaining our high standards of service.
Reliable Drilling Services Across North Queensland
Clients in Townsville and surrounding areas now have local access to Legion Drilling’s full range of capabilities, including:
Direct push and environmental drilling
Geotechnical investigations
High Resolution Site Characterisation (HRSC)

Whether your project is in Townsville, Mackay, Weipa, Mt Isa, or further inland, Legion Drilling can now respond more quickly and cost-effectively than ever before.
