- Survey: Using geophysical equipment and hydrogeological maps a drill point is marked out with the best possibility of water strike and maximum yield. We pride ourselves with a very high success rate.
- Drilling: Once the survey has been completed we can follow through with the construction of the borehole. The depth and amount of casing to be used will depend on the type of ground formation and depth of aquifer. Every borehole is unique, but we are here to guide and assist throughout the process
- Testing: In order to ensure that the borehole is equipped correctly we recommend a yield test to be done. This information will assist to spec the correct pump size and duty period of the borehole. Sustainability of the borehole is key in this part of the process.
- Installation: Once the yield test has been completed and site measurements taken the borehole installation will be done according to every client’s specific needs. We pride ourselves in being one of the very first drilling companies to specialize in a complete turn key solution.

Why do we recommend the testing of a borehole?
To establish the borehole potential with focus on sustainable water solutions.
To set save and sustainable abstraction.
Ensuring the correct pump size.

Calibration test:
Draw down of water levels to establish pump rate for further test to be conducted including constant discharge tests and extended step draw down tests
Step Draw Down Test:
Draw down levels on a series of steps of which every step rate exceeds the previous step to access the productivity of the borehole. Each step is documented and will be done typically for 60 min or longer.
Constant Discharge:
This test is done over an extended period making use of a single pump rate. The duration of the test will be guided by the planned usage of the borehole as per the guide line set out by SANS 10299- 4:2003.
Recovery Test
Controlled field test at the end of a pump test where water levels are monitored and recorded to determine the recovery rate of a borehole after it has been pumped over an extended period.
