Dales Water

Following initial discussion, our modern hydraulic drilling rigs, crewed by highly trained and experienced staff, can be mobilised at client’s requests.

Drilling at appropriate diameters (from 4 inch and up to 24 inches) for the demand of water required or client specifications, our drilling equipment is maintained to the highest standards to comply with health and safety but also making the process of drilling efficient, minimising disruption and disturbance.  Drilling depths of over 400 meters are easily achievable in a short duration.

When drilling for water resources our drilling staffs experience means that constant resource and volume assessment are possible resulting in appropriate depths being drilled to best achieve clients volume demands.

Rock strata is progressively assessed to form an accurate record of the borehole and to assess the rocks strengths to install appropriate amounts of casing to support the borehole so that its lasts well into the future. Reporting of the strata encountered occurs to the British Geological Survey post borehole completion (required by law).

The construction techniques employed by Dales Water minimises the risk to the environment whilst controlling the drilling and any water that is present in the rock. Where necessary we have significant experience of controlling artesian heads (water that comes out of the ground under its own pressure)  minimising loss and complying with laws to control artesian pressure. 

Dales Water has drilled for a variety of clients for several differnt purposes:

• Irrigation boreholes
• Domestic / household boreholes
• Leisure industry boreholes
• Dairy washdown boreholes
• Livestock boreholes
• Lake top up and fishing boreholes
• Industrial process boreholes
• Golf and race course irrigation boreholes
• General agricultural boreholes
• Monitoring boreholes

All boreholes and water wells are designed by ourselves but we also have experience of working with consultant specifications.

See our Boreholes Supplies UK page providing case studies which show how our clients have benefited from our drilling and water well work.
