An Environmental Well Installation

In this particular application, Boreline was specified because of its many advantages.

From the following pictures, it is patently obvious that Boreline Flexible Drop Pipe would be the most logical, most efficient and safest manner in which to tackle the problems encountered at this site.

The site had been used for many, many decades with the effluent generated, being very toxic. Many extraction and monitoring wells were drilled into the ground to halt the movement of the contaminated groundwater towards an area of groundwater supply just outside the perimeter.

The problem was that due to the aggressive nature of the effluent, pumps and pipes would last less than 12 months. Breakdowns would often occur and the possibility of contamination outside the perimeter and an enlarging plume, were very probable.

Boreline, because of its ease of installation and retrieval and the fact that it does not breakdown chemically, was considered and specified. With Boreline, a broken pump could now be removed, replaced and be in back into operation, in less than 30 minutes.
