Installing private water supplies and drilling boreholes for our customers often involves the installation of underground pipework to deliver water from the source to the area of its intended use. Traditional methods of installing pipework can often be very disruptive and have various limitations so one technique our engineers are using more and more is [...]

In the clip above our drilling rig has drilled to a depth of 50 metres where it's encountered sandstone geology. This particular borehole is an example of an [...]
