It can quickly and efficiently measure a borehole to check for deviation.

How do you measure the depth of a borehole?

Water depth can be measured with a pressure sensor lowered down the bore hole and immersed in the water. This is call hydrostatic depth method. Alternatively a standard float-and-pulley sensor system with a small (50mm or 100mm) float and a pulley at the top of the bore hole can also be used to measure depth.

How long does a borehole last?

A borehole is an asset that should last 50-80 years, with very low maintenance costs in the first 10-15 years. But for this to happen, you need to make the right decisions at the start of the process and invest wisely for long-term returns.

Why do you flush a borehole?

Borehole Flushing: Borehole Flushing is needed when the pores of the aquifer inside the borehole get clogged by slit and sand-sized particles or mineral deposits reducing the permeability of the aquifer making it difficult to pump water, thus reducing the water yield.

How can borehole deviation be controlled?

Use a longer reaming shell to ream the hole to the correct constant specific diameter and for even better stabilization. Consider a larger drill string which will deviate less from planned borehole path. Geological conditions such as fractured rock can have an impact on the direction of the drill bit.

What is borehole deviation?

Borehole deviation is defined as the angular change from vertical. In certain situations, the direction of drilling is deliberately changed in order to intersect a certain point below the surface. Borehole deviation is measured in angular degrees from vertical often called inclination.

What is the average depth of a borehole?

Drilling a borehole for household use will usually range from about 100 feet to 500 feet deep, but when drilling a new borehole for your home or business, the depth of the well depends on the geology and underground water levels of the area.

Can a borehole run out of water?

Groundwater can be compared to water in a sponge. Pumping too much water out of your borehole without adequate rainwater to recharge the aquifer will result in your borehole delivering less water. The dynamic becomes quite simple: no rain plus high abstraction rates equals a diminishing (or vanishing) resource.

Can a borehole run dry UK?

Will the borehole dry up? We drill the boreholes beyond the water table to ensure that is is not affected by seasonal differences and to allow for drought years. For the borehole to dry up or become affected by lack of water there would have to be a drought for several years.

How do I make my borehole water clear?

The amount of chlorine needed will depend on the volume of water in the borehole. Add 1 litre of 0.2\% chlorine solutions for every 100 litres of water in the borehole. Leave the water undisturbed for at least 30 minutes. NOTE: Do not allow anyone to use the borehole during the cleaning process.

How do you treat borehole water?

Fill the bucket with clear water • Add 1g of HSCH powder and stir until dissolved (0.5g for every10 litres in the bucket) • Pour the disinfectant into the borehole • Make up sufficient buckets of disinfectant to replace the total volume of water in the borehole.
