Over 50 Years History Drilling in the South Island
One day a Waimea based crop farmer was searching for water on his own property and saw an opportunity when he realised other local farmers were needing the same thing. Since starting in 1965 Waimea Drilling Company has gone from strength to strength.
At that time Waimea Drilling Company was completing relatively shallow drilling to a depth of around 30-50 metres largely in the Wairau, Motueka and Waimea Plains. In 1982 the company made the move into deep drilling when kiwifruit farming was starting to gain momentum in the region and water in Nelson’s Moutere formation required drilling to greater depths.
Today the company is owned by Brendan Higgins, a long term employee with over 20 years experience. Waimea Drilling Company 2023 Ltd carries on the proud tradition of finding water for a variety of clients including farmers, vineyards, horticultural operations, lifestyle block owners and more.
