Can you drill in tight or sloped access areas?

Yes. Our drilling attachments fit a range of machine sizes, so we can work on steep blocks, around existing structures and in confined backyards where a larger rig wouldn't get in.

Do you locate underground services before drilling?

Always. Before any hole goes in, we organise service locating so power, gas, water, comms and sewer are marked out. It protects the crew, protects your services and keeps the job moving without surprises.

Hard Ground Meets Harder Machinery

From single-pier residential footings through to deeper commercial holes, drilling around Newcastle is one of the bread-and-butter jobs for Plumb Excavations — right auger, right rig, and the patience to follow the engineer's drawing to the millimetre. Auger drilling provides the clean, accurate holes needed for piers, footings and other foundational works. We bring the right size auger to suit residential, commercial and civil footings, and work to the engineer's design every time. Residential builders, commercial contractors, civil crews and mining outfits all draw on the same drilling fleet and ticketed operators — work that is planned around the engineer's schedule and the rest of the program on site. See the full services list for the excavation services that often run alongside drilling, or the equipment page for the rigs and augers we run.

Through Rock, Clay and Everything in Between

Auger drilling is one of those jobs where the engineer's drawing leaves no room for interpretation — depth, diameter and position have to land exactly where they are written. Across the typical mix of work that means:

Residential footings for new builds, extensions, decks and retaining walls, drilled to the specified depth and diameter and signed off ready for steel.
Commercial and civil piers at larger diameters and greater depth, drilled in around adjacent structures and live site traffic without holding up the program.
Spoil management taken seriously — drilled material stockpiled, loaded out or spread on site as agreed so the surrounding work area stays usable.

Frequently Asked Questions

We handle auger drilling for footings, posts and pier holes, plus rock drilling for harder ground where standard excavation won't get the depth. If you've got an engineer's spec, we'll match the diameter and depth to it exactly.
