WATER BOREHOLE DRILLING

With over 30 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 formation for example alluvium (sand, round stones and gravel) can be drilled with ease.

All our machines are high pressure, and boreholes of 300 metres + can be drilled with ease. RPM have developed a unique system to perforate steel lining that has already been installed. This leaves greater 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 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!

WATER BOREHOLE MONITORING

RPM has been involved for many years in the sinking of monitoring boreholes. In numerous instances we assist with the design of the boreholes. It is critical that the construction of these boreholes is meticulously planned. If water is found, we look at/consider a monitoring borehole (level). That is where water is found above solid rock in the alluvial layer, and monitored.

Secondly, deeper holes are sunk to monitor water in the solid rock. Once again, it is vital that this water in the rock does not mix with the alluvial water. The purpose of these holes, is to check for pollution and also to determine the availability of ground water in the long term

GEO-TECHNICAL DRILLING

We specialise in the collecting of ground samples for agriculture use, as well as use by Civil Engineering Companies. We are also available for piling jobs to support trees and other structures.
