Can't find the answer you're looking for? Our team of water experts is ready to provide personalized advice and solutions for your specific project, whether it's for your home, farm, or community.
We conduct a professional hydrogeological survey. This involves scientific methods to assess the geology of your area and identify potential aquifers (underground water sources). This crucial first step significantly increases the success rate of finding water and determines the optimal drilling location and depth.
The depth varies greatly depending on the location and geological formations. In some areas, water can be found at 50 meters, while in others, drilling may exceed 150 meters. Our hydrogeological survey provides an estimate, and we drill until we reach a sustainable aquifer that provides sufficient yield and quality.
Groundwater is often naturally filtered and pure, but we always recommend testing. We provide comprehensive Water Quality Testing services in a certified lab to check for bacterial, chemical, and physical contaminants. We will advise you on the results and recommend any necessary treatment systems to ensure the water is safe for its intended use (drinking, agriculture, etc.).
The Borehole Passport is a comprehensive technical document we provide for every completed project. It serves as the official record of your water source and includes vital information such as:
- Location coordinates and drilling depth
- Geological layers encountered
- Casing specifications and water yield
- Water quality test results
- Pump details and maintenance history
This passport is essential for future maintenance, troubleshooting, compliance with regulations, and for any potential resale of the property.
The timeline depends on the project's complexity. A standard domestic borehole project, from the initial survey to pump installation and commissioning, typically takes between 5 to 10 working days. Larger, deeper, or more complex commercial projects may take longer. We provide a clear project timeline after the initial assessment.
Yes, we provide comprehensive Maintenance and After-Sales Support. Our services include regular pump servicing, borehole cleaning/flushing to remove sediments, water quality re-testing, and system performance checks. Proactive maintenance extends the lifespan of your water system and ensures consistent performance.
We offer transparent and flexible payment terms. Typically, a mobilization fee is required to schedule the project, with the balance due upon satisfactory completion. We accept bank transfers and other agreed-upon methods. A detailed breakdown of costs and payment schedule will be provided in your project quotation.
