Company Description
Geologic Boreholes drills and installs water boreholes for many different purposes.
Borehole water is naturally cleaner depending on its location and content
As water passes through the ground and into the water table it flows through layers of rock and chalk, which act as natural filters. This produces water that is usually far cleaner and purer than the water provided by water companies (ask anyone who has had their supply analysed).
Water boreholes provide stability of water supply
A single borehole has over forty times the water capacity that an average home would need (500–600 litres of water a day).
A borehole will provide water regardless of climate, and independently of any hosepipe ban. You can turn off your supply from your local water company and stop receiving huge bills, as soon as a borehole is drilled and equipped.
An environmentally friendly solution
In the long term a borehole provides a tangible environmentally friendly and positive selling point for a house sale. This is reflected in the increasing number of property developers and house builders opting to install a borehole.
Water Well Conversion
If you are fortunate enough to have a water well that is no longer operational then please contact us to discuss the possibility of renewing it. You can then benefit from utilising your own private water supply, obtained directly from your own land
Water Borehole Drilling and Installation
Water borehole drilling fundamentals
Water borehole drilling generally involves drilling to a diameter of 150mm (6" radius). the hole is drilled using a variety of drilling tools from a simple drag through to high impact, high penetration Down the Hole Air Hammers
Air flush or mud flush water borehole drilling
The borehole is drilled to the required depth and water levels within the hole are monitored during the drilling. Geologic uses either air flush or mud flush drilling. A majority of the time we use the air flush method. This uses compressed air to drive the drilling tools attached to a rotary drilling rig. The air enables the drilling residue to be driven out of the hole to enable drilling to continue. A by-product of air flush water borehole drilling is that once the water is found it too is driven out of the hole, the driller monitors the flow of water coming from the hole and uses this data to estimate the water level, quantity and re-charge rate of the borehole.
Preventing the collapse of the water borehole
Depending on the geology being drilled we may have to install temporary steel casing to stop collapses during drilling. These sections of steel casing are screwed together to form a continuous run of casing that supports the side of the borehole and enables drilling to continue into harder and self supporting geology. The requirement for casing can be established from the geological survey information supplied about the site.
Installing the water borehole
Although water borehole drilling may seem invasive, once drilled there is very little visible sign of the borehole. The borehole is terminated within a purpose made poly well head sump. These can be simple lightweight steel covers through to reinforced weight rated covers to allow traffic to pass over the borehole.
Equipping the water borehole
Pump work is installed into the borehole using submersible pumps to supply water for any number of applications. These systems are invariably direct pressure providing water on demand at 3–4 bar into a network of new or existing pipe work. These systems can also pump into holding tanks and the water pumped around the network from these tanks.
Water analysis
We will also provide a full chemical suite B water analysis certificate and can design, supply and install water treatment systems to ensure any system supplying potable water (domestic drinking water) meets and exceed the current drinking water regulations.
