Important Message to our Customers
We need to talk…
It’s not you, it’s us.
We hate to do this, but we’re taking a break.
Just for Christmas, though!
From 20th December to 6th January, we’ll be off soaking up the sunshine, splashing at the beach, and enjoying BBQs with the family. But don’t worry—this isn’t goodbye forever. We’ll be back, refreshed and ready to pick up where we left off.
Until then, have an amazing holiday season. You deserve it.
Still yours (just on a little holiday),
The Blick Team
Services
Industry experts
Blick partners with local councils, engineering consultants and large contracting companies to consult on a range of projects.
This is an area we are building; designing contracts to better suit contractors.
Mineral coring & geotech
The mineral coring and geotech industries across Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific are mature and do things well.
We add value and support to these areas through consulting, drilling fluids, thread grease and tooling.
Trenchless & HDD
Three waters work is an area that requires better support.
A big focus for the Blick team is to spend time helping engineering consultants and councils to design contracts more effectively to suit trenchless and HDD.
Piling & construction
When piling, tunneling or building diaphragm walls under fluids, we provide support and advice.
The whole project is covered from start to finish; helping you to deliver better outcomes and reduce risk, all while keeping the fluid costs low.
Waterwell & anchoring
We focus on the drilling process, and how we can help you to be more effective.
We do this through drilling fluid design, thread grease, as well as bits, rods and adaptors.
Oilfield & geothermal
Our focus is to provide water based drilling fluid solutions, along with bits and dope for the drill string and casing.
With expert Mud Engineers in our team, we support you from design and execution, to project review.
Diamond tools

We believe we stock the best core drills, diamond blades, grinding discs and polishing pads in the Waikato.

At Blick, customers send us geotechnical reports, samples of formations or even photos to allow us to understand their conditions. Using this information we will design a fluid system to maximise their success...
