Bundaberg Large Diameter Irrigation
In a region like Bundaberg where agriculture drives the economy, access to reliable water is non-negotiable. Cheyenne Drilling provides large diameter irrigation bores tailored for commercial-scale needs, from cane farming to orchards and broadacre crops. With more than 16 years in the field, we’ve drilled deep, wide bores throughout the Burnett River system and beyond—each one built for high output and long-term use.
Our process ensures every bore is drilled to match water table conditions and withstand seasonal pumping demands. These large diameter setups support irrigation systems that run daily or across large acreages, delivering higher flow rates with minimal downtime. For growers and property owners in Bundaberg, it’s a dependable way to meet the water needs of a productive operation.
We handle everything from initial site checks to final casing. Get in touch with Cheyenne Drilling on 0447 280 143 for a no-obligation quote and tailored advice on bore sizing and placement.

Supporting Bundaberg Growers
Bundaberg farms are diverse, and so are their irrigation needs. Our large diameter bores are designed to integrate smoothly into everything from sugarcane setups to intensive market gardens. We assess your land’s layout, crop requirements and water drawdown targets to create a bore that delivers what you need—without overcomplicating the system.
Our team knows the local geology and uses it to your advantage, selecting optimal spots to drill and tailoring depth and diameter for flow reliability. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all: your irrigation system deserves a bore that matches its output.
How do large diameter bores support cane farms?
Sugarcane requires large volumes of water over extended periods, especially during peak growing seasons. Large diameter bores provide the capacity needed to meet those demands without frequent interruptions. In Bundaberg, where irrigation is a major part of cane production, having a high-flow bore can make the difference between healthy growth and seasonal shortfall. These bores reduce the need for backup sources and provide a more consistent, reliable supply.
Are these bores suited for deep groundwater in Bundaberg?
Yes. Many Bundaberg properties access aquifers that sit deeper below clay or sand layers. Large diameter bores can be drilled to those depths with wider casing, making them suitable for accessing deeper water reserves. The benefit is twofold: a more stable source and greater daily extraction capacity. We assess each site and adjust our drilling plan to reach those productive layers without compromising structure or long-term function.
What materials are used in large diameter bore construction?
We typically use steel casing for large diameter bores due to its durability, especially in high-demand settings like Bundaberg farms. Depending on site conditions, PVC may also be an option for sections of the bore. Each material is selected to match water chemistry, flow requirements and local geology. Our team will walk you through the options, including longevity, maintenance, and suitability for your intended irrigation system.
