Wide Bay-Burnett Large Diameter Irrigation
Wide Bay–Burnett properties range from mixed-crop farms to extensive grazing land, and large diameter irrigation bores are a proven solution for securing a consistent water supply. At Cheyenne Drilling, we’ve been drilling heavy-duty, high-capacity bores in the region for over 16 years, helping rural clients get the water they need to grow, sustain and scale their operations. These larger bores allow for higher water flow and better pressure retention—ideal for pivots, travelling irrigators, or any high-demand irrigation system.
Every site in the region is different, from black soil flats to ridgelines and creek-fed boundaries, which is why we offer fully tailored solutions to suit your land and layout. We plan, drill and case with precision, giving you the durability and output your system needs. There are no hidden fees, no transport charges, and no cutting corners.

Designed for Demanding Systems
Water delivery is the backbone of any productive operation in Wide Bay–Burnett. Our large diameter irrigation bores are purpose-built to support that flow—no matter the terrain. We factor in your property’s topography, irrigation type and long-term usage plans to ensure the final result works efficiently now and into the future.
Our rigs are equipped to drill through a range of soil profiles, from deep loam to stony sublayers, and we maintain casing integrity throughout. The outcome is a system you can rely on—less maintenance, fewer slowdowns, and better output across seasons.
What are the main benefits of a large diameter irrigation bore?
The primary benefit is increased water flow, which is essential for large properties using automated irrigation systems. In the Wide Bay–Burnett area, farms often span multiple paddocks or crops with varying water demands. A larger diameter bore allows for greater draw without over-straining the pump. It also supports future upgrades, like connecting additional lines or expanding coverage. The design increases reliability, especially during peak season, and reduces the need for multiple bores across one property.
Does the region’s geology affect bore planning?
Yes. Wide Bay–Burnett has a variety of geological features, including basalt, sedimentary rock and clay-rich areas. Before drilling, we assess these conditions to determine depth, bore size and casing material. In some cases, we may recommend steel casing for added durability if abrasive layers are present. Our regional experience helps us navigate these variables to achieve a productive, long-lasting result. Site-specific planning ensures your bore performs consistently and safely, regardless of subsoil differences.
How soon can I use the bore after it’s drilled?
Typically, you can begin using your bore within a few days after drilling is complete and casing has been installed. We allow time for pump installation, flow testing, and—if needed—bore development to remove sediment. In Wide Bay–Burnett, this process moves quickly because we plan each stage with the final irrigation system in mind. We’ll walk you through next steps and help coordinate with your installer to make the handover seamless.
