10 Reasons to Choose Legion
At Legion Drilling we thrive on providing solutions for challenging drilling programs. Our loyal clientele return for the support of a drilling contractor that can deliver in high risk and high performance situations.
BOS 200 Webinar
BOS 200® has been implemented in hundreds of sites to effectively treat LNAPL source zones, fuel oxygenates, alcohols, glycols, and cyclic ethers. BOS 200® is a complete system effecting accelerated biodegradation processes on an activated carbon platform that includes
Epic Sonic Drilling Journey
Sydney based R20 Sonic crews have been on a 13 week tour which included quarantine, 4 states, 4 projects and a total of 6400km mobilization. Project requirements included 150mm production bores, Environmental monitoring wells, and Vibrating Wire Piezometers for a Geotechnical client. The rig completed projects in Queensland, South Australia, Northern Territory and New south wales.
Geotechnical drilling on a small scale
Despite its small stature the Geo 205 is still capable of HQ coring to 30m quite comfortably and it automatic SPT hammer ensures safe operation. The tight squeeze is assisted but fully remote control operation allowing the driller to keep well out of harm’s way.
Does your drilling contractor hold the required drillers licence?
The bore shall be constructed by a suitably qualified driller who possess the appropriate experience and the relevant class of licence that the state or territory deem necessary. An appropriately licenced driller shall be on site at all times during bore construction and decommissioning activities.”
Conventional Contaminated land Investigation vs Direct Sensing HRSC
At this point, 20+ years into the development of direct sensing technology there have been a multitude of arguments presented touting the technical and financial advantages of High-Resolution Site Characterisation (HRSC) using Membrane Interface Probe (MIP), Ultra-Violet Optical Screening Tool (UVOST) and Hydraulic Profiling Tool (HPT).
Legion Drilling now in Townsville with Geoprobe 7822DT
To better service north QLD clients we now have a Geoprobe 7822Dt operating from a satellite base in Cairns Australia.
A typical day at Legion Drilling Services Australia!
This short video is a small window into what kinds of drilling projects are going on at Legion Drilling on any given day. As a tier 1 drilling contractor we can provide high quality drilling services including Sonic, remote access diamond coring, geotechnical, overwater and contaminated land investigations with Geoprobe machines.
Geotechnical Rig Update - MCT450P
This highly capable truck mounted geotechnical rig was commissioned in late January 2018. It's immediately proving a big hit with our clients combining great mobility and speed of operation.
Introducing the MiHPT -
The new probe detects volatile contaminants with the MIP, measures soil electrical conductivity with a standard (MIP) dipole array, and measures HPT injection pressure using the same down-hole transducer as the Geoprobe® stand-alone HPT system.
Sonic mineral exploration for Nickel Laterite
Legion Drilling recently completed a mineral exploration drilling program with a sonic rig in unconsolidated formations for Nickel Laterite.
Sydney Harbour Overwater Sonic Drilling
One of the highlights of 2017 was being involved in the Sydney Metro Geotechnical investigation in Sydney Harbour. Legion Drilling was presented with an opportunity to use one of our Sonic drill rigs from an overwater in close proximity to the Harbour Bridge.

Cleanup 2017 Keynote: Laser Induced Fluorescence
As Australia's leading provider of High Resolution Site Characterisation (HRSC), Numac welcomes back David Heicher from Dakota Technologies for his keynote presentation at Cleanup 2017:
Flinders River alluvium - SP16 ground water Sampling - Northern Queensland
".....look for a cost-effective method for characterising shallow groundwater resources in remote Northern Australia"
Installation of municipal Supply Bore Network
Legion Drilling Services Australia was awarded a public tender by Hunter Water to manage and undertake the drilling and installation of 15 municipal water production bores within the existing use regional aquifer.
QUT GROUNDWATER RESEARCH PROJECT.
Using tracers to Investigate aquifer recharge. A wide a range of tools wre employed to gather data including monitoring wells, the Hydraulic Profiling Tool (HPT), Geoprobe push tube soil sampling and the SP16 groundwater sampler in this investigation.
Sonic is the new black
Sonic Drilling is taking off in Australia and is quickly becoming the preferred tool in both Environmental and Geotechnical site investigations. After a couple of years of use this is the lowdown on where we see the value.
Hydraulic Profiling Tool (HPT) added to the HRSC arsenal
The HPT provides a continuous hydrostratigraphic log of the subsurface that provides relative hydraulic conductivity of the formation. Soil lithology is also mapped along the vertical profile of the subsurface. Identify pathways and calculate permeability and static water levels in real time...
UVOST Optical Screening Tool
Run on a Geoprobe drilling rig, the UVOST systems makes for a much more productive day in the field. Real time delineation LNAPL plumes can be conducted with speed and with complete confidence. There is a greatly reduced requirement for soil sampling, laboratory analysisand groundwater wells.
