Business insurance

Insurance for Bore Drilling Contractors

Bore drilling carries serious operational risk: heavy rigs and trucks, deep-ground work, the chance of striking services or damaging a site, and liability around water quality and bore integrity. A typical premium near $1,200 a year usually reflects public liability, plant and equipment cover for the rig and trucks, and tool and transit cover.

With many policies renewing around 30 June, reviewing limits before a busy dry-season run makes sense. Cockatoo helps you find an insurance partner who understands drilling plant, on-site liability and the property-damage exposure that comes with deep-ground work in remote locations.

Common questions

Bore Drilling Contractors — insurance questions

What insurance does a bore drilling contractor need?

Public liability for site and ground work, plant and equipment cover for the rig and support trucks, tool and transit cover for remote travel, and workers' compensation if you employ. Professional considerations may apply on bore integrity and water advice.

Does remote and deep drilling affect my cover?

Yes. Working remotely with heavy rigs and deep-ground exposure raises both equipment and liability risk, so reviewing limits near a 30 June renewal helps ensure your plant and liability cover match the jobs you take on.
