WATER BOREHOLE DRILLING

BORING: Description Wash boring is a fast and simple method for advancing holes in all types of soils. Boulders and rocks cannot be penetrated by this method. The method consists of first driving a casing through which a hollow drill rod with a sharp chisel or chopping bit at the lower end is inserted. Water is forced under pressure through the drill rod which is alternately raised and dropped and also rotated. The resulting chopping and jetting action of the bit and water disintegrate the soil. The cutting is forced up to the ground surface in the form of a soil-water slurry through the annular space between the drill rod and the casing. The change in soil stratification could be guessed from the rate of progress and the color of the wash water. The samples recovered from the wash water are almost valueless for

With over 22 years of water borehole drilling statistics, RPM has accumulated a wealth of information about ground formations, water quality, water quantity, and depth of shifting in each specific area. With our special equipment, any shape, for example, alluvium (sand, round stones, and gravel) can be drilled with ease.

All our machines are high-pressure, and boreholes of 350 meters + can be drilled with ease. RPM has developed a unique system to perforate steel lining that has already been installed. This leaves more excellent room for the success of any borehole. In cases where water is not found in solid rock, perforation can occur and alluvial water can then be used.

We offer an additional service, over and above drilling new boreholes, of cleaning and rehabilitating existing boreholes. In many cases, the existing borehole is fitted with a perforated PVC lining (skroefdraad-koppeling/screw thread coupling?), and a gravel pack is then installed. This ensures hassle-free use of the borehole.

Household boreholes are handled daily. We always aim to complete the entire process within 2 days, to ensure minimum disruption.

In determining the location for drilling, we refer our clients to an individual or company that can best assist them. Important to note is that we have developed and expanded our database to include only those who achieve the best results in different areas.

RPM’s skill and expertise are guaranteed!
