Water Bore Construction, Relining, & Bore Maintenance in New South Wales
Why Drill For Water Bores?
There are several reasons that homes, businesses, or agricultural industries may wish to drill for water bores on their properties:
Access to Groundwater
New South Wales is a typically dry state, even by Australian standards. Access to water from dams and rivers may be limited. As such, drilling for water bores is often the best solution to this problem.
Drought Resilience
Having access to underground water supplies means you can be prepared for drought periods, ensuring you have enough water to get you through the tough times.
Agricultural Benefits
Bores can help provide more water for irrigation, stock water, and other farming operations.
Small Acreage Without Water Supply
If you are out of town on an acreage and do not have access to a town's water supply, a water bore if a perfect solution.
Gravel Packing & Developing Your Bore
After water is located and the hole is cased, a gravel pack is introduced into the annulus of the PVC. This aids in the filtration of the water entering the PVC and stabilises the casing in the event of ground movement. This process is essential to the longevity of your bore.
After gravel packing the bore,
development takes place. This process removes debris and clears up the water, ready for a pump to be installed. Water is pumped continuously to ensure the
flow is constant. It is at this stage the water yield is measured. This process usually takes from 2-6 hours on average but can take longer.
This process is also essential.
Cleaning Out & Relining an Older Bore
If your bore does not yield as much as it once did, a clean-out from CBJ Drilling Services can be beneficial to make sure it is operating at its highest capacity. Older bores are often blocked by silt and debris. In some cases, bores cased with steel can begin to corrode over time. Relining them with new casing can increase the longevity of your old bore.
