Quality boreholes are the result of meticulous construction practices. At Borehole Clinic, we prioritize using high-quality PVC or steel casings as borehole linings. Let’s delve into the key aspects of our approach:

1. Casing Selection:

   • We employ high-quality PVC or steel casings. These materials provide several benefits:
     • Structural Support: Casings prevent boreholes from collapsing by providing essential structural support. This is crucial, especially in areas with loose or unstable formations.
     • Groundwater Sealing: Casings effectively seal off undesirable groundwater. For instance, saline water intrusion can be detrimental to borehole performance. Proper casings prevent such issues.
     • Corrosion Resistance: PVC casings are corrosion-resistant, ensuring longevity and durability.
     • Steel Strength: Steel casings offer robustness and are suitable for deeper boreholes or challenging geological conditions.

2. Borehole Development:

   • After drilling, we perform borehole development activities:
     • Flushing: Flushing involves cleaning the borehole by removing drilling debris, mud, and cuttings. This step ensures optimal water flow and minimizes clogging.
     • Gravel Pack Installation:
       • The gravel pack is a critical component. It stabilizes the aquifer and prevents formation collapse.
       • Without a gravel pack, the borehole’s abstraction volume may decrease due to collapsing formations.
       • Additionally, sand pumping can damage the pump. The gravel pack minimizes this risk.

3. Aquifer Stability:

   • The gravel pack serves two purposes:
     • Support: It maintains the integrity of the aquifer, preventing it from collapsing.
     • Sand Control: By minimizing sand ingress, the gravel pack protects the pump and ensures efficient water extraction.

In summary, our commitment to quality materials, thorough borehole development, and aquifer stability sets us apart. Borehole Clinic aims to provide reliable water solutions while safeguarding the longevity of your borehole.
