Our 
Story

Get to Know Us

At KTR Services (WBR) and Aquabotics, we bring together over 100 years of combined industry experience in water bore maintenance, redevelopment, and asset management across a wide range of industries throughout Western Australia.

With extensive experience spanning mining, construction, water infrastructure, and environmental management, our team understands the complex challenges that lead to underperforming or failed bores — from decreased water flow to rising operational costs. These issues often result in increased power consumption, reduced equipment lifespan, higher treatment costs, and the deterioration of underground infrastructure.

Our integrated approach offers a comprehensive, one-stop solution for:

  • Bore maintenance

  • Sterilisation

  • Asset recovery

  • Condition reporting

  • Asset management recommendations

  • Bore decommissioning at end of life

Exclusive Services

At KTR Services, we specialise in maintaining and restoring water bores throughout Western Australia. Whether you’re dealing with reduced flow, contamination, or ageing infrastructure — we’ve got the tools and expertise to get your bore working like new.

1 

Bore Cleaning & Maintenance

Clear out blockages and improve water quality.
Over time, bores can accumulate silt, sand, iron bacteria, and mineral build-up, leading to poor water flow or discolouration. Our professional bore cleaning service helps restore full capacity and water clarity.

Service includes:

  • Chemical treatment (if required)

  • Iron bacteria removal

  • Post-cleaning flow rate testing

2

Bore Repairs

Fast, reliable repairs to get you back up and running.
From collapsed casings to pump issues, we diagnose and repair all types of bore problems using quality parts and proven methods.

Common repairs include:

  • Cracked or corroded casing

  • Pump or motor failure

  • Leaking or blocked pipework

  • Electrical troubleshooting

3

Bore Redevelopment

Bring life back to low-performing or older bores.
If your bore isn’t producing as it should, redevelopment can help avoid the cost of drilling a new one. We use advanced techniques to improve performance, water yield, and lifespan.

Redevelopment may involve:

  • Downhole camera inspections

  • Airlifting or surge block cleaning

  • Reconditioning gravel pack

  • Upgrading pump equipment

4

Bore Re-lining

Extend the life of damaged or deteriorating bores.
If your bore casing is cracked, corroded, or collapsing, bore re-lining is a cost-effective solution. We install a new internal liner to seal off damaged sections, improve structural integrity, and restore safe, clean water flow.

Benefits of bore re-lining:

  • Avoids the cost of drilling a new bore

  • Seals off contaminated or collapsed zones

  • Suitable for domestic, rural, and commercial bores

  • Quick turnaround with minimal disruption
