Our Process
From Drilling to Flow: 5 Proven Steps
We make complex groundwater engineering simple and transparent. Every project follows a rigorous, field-tested process.
01
Inspection & Survey
A methodical, science-led site survey using geophysical resistivity, VES and surface mapping to pinpoint the highest-yield aquifer zones and reduce the chance of a dry hole.
02
Precision DTH Drilling
Pneumatically driven Down-The-Hole hammers deliver rapid, vertical penetration through hard rock — up to 250m deep — while maintaining borehole straightness and core integrity.
03
Steel Casing & PVC Lining
Heavy-duty steel casing stabilises the upper, unstable layers, while corrosion-resistant food-grade PVC lining protects the deeper water column from leaching and debris.
04
Pump & Electrical Engineering
We select and fit a submersible or surface pump matched to your tested yield and daily demand, with IP65 control automation, dry-run protection and optional solar power.
05
Tank, Storage & Sign-Off
Custom storage tanks and booster systems are integrated for steady pressure and load-shedding resilience, followed by yield, flow and quality testing before final hand-over.

Our farm’s irrigation now depends on the borehole Arbor installed. Reliable yield, honest pricing, and they handled all the yield and water-quality testing for us.
Annelize V.
Farmer, North West
“
They equipped our lodge with a solar pump and storage system — we now have uninterrupted water even during load-shedding. Outstanding workmanship.
Sipho D.
Lodge Manager, Hartbeespoort
