Small, skillful, satisfaction guaranteed

ADK – short for Aussie Drill Kings – was founded around the start of the new millennium with a work ethic built on old school reliability. We’re around today thanks to the partnerships we’ve built with the wide range of utility providers, regional councils, land developers, and private contractors we’ve worked with.

These relationships are built on the quality and reliability of the outcomes we deliver to our clients, and we’re proud to continue making a name for ourselves as one of Far North Queensland’s premier hydrovac and directional drilling contractors. Whether you need a hole drilled, a pipeline excavated, or a fibre optic network installed, ADK is the company for the job.  Learn more about us.
