Before construction can start, a bore site needs to be located. We divine a site and guarantee at least 200 gph. We are quite happy to drill on other diviners sites, but we cannot give a guarantee.
We give a written quote when we divine your site on what our costs are, this includes cost per meter of cased hole, cost per meter of an investigation hole, cost per meter for surface casing.
Once we have intercepted suitable water and all cuttings have been cleaned out, the casing is installed and a water sample is collected to be sent to Southern Cross University fot testing.
After the casing and screens have been installed bore development is the next step. This may take form half an hour to several hours, depending on how fine the sand is in the aquifer. Towards the end of this stag the bore flow is measured.
On completion the land holder receives a copy of the bore log, which states the standing water level, and all other relevant details required by the Department of water and Energy.
Here is a photo of one of our completed bores
