Well Points and Mini Boreholes

A well point is a hole that is blown with water pressure to extract shallow ground water from the water table below the surface of the ground. They usually can reach a maximum depth of about 10m depending on your particular area and ground water profile. WellPoint’s are sufficient for the irrigation of small to medium sized residential gardens. It consists of a pump that is situated above ground to extract the water. It is more cost effective and quicker to install than a borehole due to the shallower depths needed. Sometimes the water yield from one well-point will not be enough to run your irrigation system and so a second /third or fourth well-point is blown. These points are then connected together to work as one system. The whole process takes about 2-4hrs to install. Why install a well point: It saves you money Add value to your property Save valuable potable water Relieve the strain on our natural environment

Mini Boreholes can go down to 35m and are usually drilled with a very portable rig which can accesses hard to reach areas without having to break down walls. They utilize a submersible pump which then pumps the water to the surface. Mini boreholes are sufficient for irrigation small to large residential gardens and sometimes the household water depending on the quality and quantity. The process should take a day to complete providing the underground formations are favorable.
