Service 04
Borehole Resuscitation
Diagnostic work and rehabilitation for boreholes that have silted, lost yield or stopped producing, aimed at restoring a usable supply without drilling a new hole.
What this service involves
- Boreholes with vandalized or compromised systems.
- Camera or physical inspection where practical.
- De-silting and removal of accumulated debris.
- Air lifting, surging and re-development.
- Chemical treatment where appropriate.
- Re-testing of yield after rehabilitation.
Benefits
- Often more economical than a new borehole.
- Recovers existing infrastructure investment.
- Clear diagnosis before any spend on rehabilitation.
Our process
- 01DiagnosisWe establish why the borehole is underperforming.
- 02RecommendationYou receive an honest view on whether rehabilitation is viable.
- 03RehabilitationMobilizing equipment and resources to site to facilitate repairs and resuscitation.
- 04TestingYield and water clarity are checked before handover.
- 05SustainabilityPutting structures in place to avoid a reoccurrence of borehole breakdown.
Common questions
Can every dead borehole be revived?
No. Some are beyond economical repair. We tell you clearly after diagnosis rather than proceeding regardless.
