Borehole Installation Process
With over 500 domestic, commercial, and corporate clients across Gauteng, we have become experts in the borehole drilling process. We pride ourselves on ensuring that each of our clients has a positive experience within every aspect of the business, and the first step in achieving this is by explaining the borehole installation process.
- Finding an underground water supply
Before drilling commences we need to make sure that we can tap into an underground water supply. As much as we rely on your neighbours to let us know about boreholes in the area, a more scientific approach is required. Using the latest technology we can determine the presence of water which in turn assists us in planning and providing you with a breakdown of the costs.
- Determining the drilling spot
Once water has been detected we need to find a drilling spot. We do that by consulting with professionals that conduct geophysical surveys. Through these surveys, various geophysical and hydrological maps are studied to determine where the best occurrence of water is on your property. Armed with this information we can plan exactly where we need to drill and so give you peace of mind knowing what to expect.
- Drilling commences
Now that the professionals have found the perfect spot for drilling, we can begin to construct your borehole. During our on-site visit, we will discuss the best point of entry for our rig to minimise the need for any deconstruction. Even though we will try our utmost to keep the mess contained, the reality of the situation is that a borehole installation is messy, so be prepared.
- Replenishing the groundwater
As much as you are relying on the groundwater for a constant supply of water a yield test must be conducted to make sure that the water pumped out is replenished. What this means is that the total amount of water taken from the borehole should always be less than the natural groundwater recharge. This is determined by conducting a recovery test to assess the effect that the pumping has on the aquifer as well as any possible dewatering that may result due to the aquifer being limited. Through these tests, we can determine the potential of the borehole and estimate a sustainable yield.
- Time to get your borehole installation working for you
After the surveys, drilling and yield tests are done and chemical reports on the quality of the water are returned, the design work can begin. The next step is to find out from you what the borehole is going to be used for, where you would like the system placed, the amount of water pressure required and the layout of the site. This information assists us in designing a proper system for you. Our highly trained experts will discuss the exact requirements with you and our expert technicians and skilled plumbers will ensure that the plumbing and connections are done to standard so that you remain compliant.
