What happens when you say yes to a new water bore?

 On acceptance of the quotation, the consultant will re-confirm the location of the water bore site in your garden. It is wise to select an alternative site as sometimes the drill team will highlight a reason that the first site selected was not suitable (e.g. gas, water, Telstra lines).

 The consultant will then confirm a time when the water bore will be drilled. We shall keep you informed as to progress and will always endeavour to drill on the programmed day. However on rare occasions, drilling may have to be rescheduled due to unforeseen reasons.

Day One.

The drill team will arrive and commence to drill.

The drilling operation will take from 2 to 8 hours, depending on the depth and the geology encountered. Depending on the depth, about a cubic metre or more of sand will be removed from the hole. This will be removed by the drill team if necessary.

The drill team will line the hole with a Class 9 PVC casing.

They will then pack the outside of the casing with drillers’ gravel.

A compressor is then used to air develop the bore.

Day Two

The next step is the installation of the pump itself.

This is closely followed by the connection to your existing reticulation system.  If we are installing a new reticulation system for you, it will be commenced as a concurrent activity.

The electrician will then call on site and make the electrical connection.

Turn on your bore and there you have it: FREE WATER.

And remember, your Boreman consultant is just a phone call away, should you require any information or assistance.

 Those steps again:

1            Quotation.

2            Site inspection.

3            Drill hole.

4            Develop hole.

5            Install Pump.

6            Commence reticulation or connect to existing reticulation.

7            Electrician on site.

8            Final inspection and test.

The whole process can take one to three days, depending on what has to be done.
