FROM SURVEY TO SUPPLYA journey from rock
A journey from rock
to reliable water.
Explore the five stages of borehole development and water distribution through STS photographs and a casing illustration.
01 /
Survey & siting
Hydrogeological investigation and geophysical surveying inform borehole siting, design and the drilling programme.
02 /
DTH drilling
The rig drills through the formation using a method and diameter selected for the site geology and project requirements.
03 /
Casing & development
Casing and screens are installed to suit the formation, followed by borehole development. uPVC casing is shown for illustration.
04 /
Pump testing
Water-level and discharge measurements help assess borehole performance and guide pump selection. Water quality is assessed for the intended use.
05 /
Water reticulation
The borehole is connected to pumping, storage and distribution infrastructure designed around the farm or site’s water demand.
Final design, materials and equipment depend on site conditions and project specifications.
EQUIPMENT & CAPABILITYThe right configuration.
The right configuration.
For your conditions.
High-pressure hydraulic and pneumatic drilling systems support a range of geological conditions. Approximate depth capability is 600 metres, subject to equipment configuration, geology and project specifications.
Supported equipment includes the DCD 75 top-drive diamond core drill rig configuration, with crawler undercarriage, direct-feed mechanism, two-speed rotary head and water-pumping systems.
Available borewell configurations include a borehole diameter range of approximately 4″–12″. Equipment selection is project-specific.
