Legion Drillings’ new Sydney home

In Mid 2023 Legion Drilling Sydney had a significant upgrade with the move to our new depot at 11-13 Metters Place, Wetherill Park.

Our new location provides close to double the square meterage along with greatly improved facilities for the drilling crews and operations team. The extra space was desperately required we now have 7 Drilling rigs to accomodate in Sydney, this is up from only 3 machines 2 years ago.

The new LegionDrilling Wetehrill park Depot improvements include:

  • Additional office, factory and hardstand area.

  • Equipment Wash-down bay.

  • Significant increase in pallet racking capacity.

  • Drilling crew training/meeting room.

  • Great access for heavy vehicles.

  • Great drilling crew change room and bathroom faculties for the drilling teams.

  • Well equiped workshop area for our drill fitters.

The Sydney drill rig lineup now comprises of 3 Geotechnical Rigs, 3 Geoprobe Environmental Drilling Rigs and a high capacity Sonic Drilling Rig with diamond coring capacity. Whilst most drill rigs are crawler mounted for limited access we do have truck mounted rig for projects where access is favourable. Whilst our focus remains contaminated land and geotechnical investigations we have capacity to complete exploration drilling and production bore drilling at depths of up to 200m.

2024 Sydney Drilling Rig lineup:

  • Commachio MC900 Sonic (Crawler)

  • Commachio Geo 205 (Crawler)

  • Commachio Geo 405 (Truck)

  • Boart Longyear DB520 (Crawler)

  • Geoprobe 7822 x 1 (Crawler)

  • Geoprobe 7722 x 2 (Crawler)

We are already seeing the big quality of life improvements the new facility is making to the Sydney team and we expect to see this flow through to the quality of drilling services we deliver to our clients across Sydney, Newcastle and Woolongong. The central west location provides our drill rigs with competitive mobilisation times across the city and easy access to the major arerials to access regional areas of NSW.
