What’s the difference between bore and water well drilling?

Bore drilling involves creating narrow, deep holes for accessing underground water or other resources, primarily for residential or industrial use.

Water well drilling typically involves larger, shallow systems designed for consistent water flow to support homes, farms or businesses. Both methods depend on site-specific needs and usage goals.
Why is regular bore maintenance essential?

Over time, sediment, debris and mineral deposits can clog bore systems, reducing water flow and efficiency. Regular bore cleaning prevents blockages, extends the lifespan of the bore and ensures consistent performance. Neglecting maintenance can lead to costly repairs or the need for system replacement.
How does utility drilling work?

Utility drilling creates precise underground pathways for infrastructure like water or gas pipelines. This involves mapping the route, using specialised drills to create the pathway and ensuring minimal surface disruption. The process is efficient and critical for infrastructure projects requiring accuracy.
What is the purpose of sands spear installation?

Sands spear installation allows effective water extraction in sandy or loose soil areas. A perforated pipe is placed into the ground, surrounded by a filter to prevent sand from clogging the system.

It’s a cost-effective solution for areas where traditional drilling methods may not be suitable.
