BOREHOLES
West Country Boreholes have a great deal of experience in domestic and commercial water boreholes and water supply.
A borehole is the term for any narrow shaft drilled into the ground, either vertically or horizontally. Boreholes are constructed for many reasons, such as for a well in your back garden to access fresh water:
For new properties / barn conversions in areas where is no mains water supply.
For properties on spring and surface well supplies which are no longer providing enough water for your requirements.
For agricultural supplies for dairy farms, stock farms including sheep and pig farms, poultry units, nurseries ....... including irrigation systems, fisheries - to provide new ponds and for topping up of existing ponds and lakes.
A borehole used as a well is completed by installing a vertical pipe and well screen to keep the borehole from caving inside . This also helps prevent surface contaminants from entering the borehole and protects any installed pump from drawing in sediment and sand. When it is completed, the borehole is then more commonly known as a well: whether it is a oil well, water well, or natural gas extraction well.
A well or borehole is a means of gaining access to ground water. The importance of ground water can be easily over looked, it is a hidden asset, and yet for many communities it can be their only means of supply. Ground water comes from rain that infiltrates the ground mainly during the winter months. Ground water emerges from aquifers and can be pumped from wells or boreholes.
We drill water boreholes to feed your animals or livestock, irrigate your garden or even to fill a pond. It can even be there just to give you pure drinking water. Our water boreholes are practically invisible, after drilling the only thing visible is a manhole cover on the ground surface.
