Reduce Your Drilling Risk
Take the guesswork out of underground water detection
Groundwater Surveys specialises in conducting drill site location surveys, which can help you get off the municipal water grid.
We have the expertise to maximise your drilling success by accurately identifying the presence and depth of groundwater on your property.
In addition, we assist in determining the optimal location for drilling and recommend the best contractor to use, thus saving you time and money with our full turnkey solution.
Geophysical surveys are an essential tool for ensuring a successful drilling project. A Geophysical survey enables you to optimise the drilling process, reduce drilling time, and costs. Other benefits include:
Identifying Aquifers
With geophysical surveys, the presence of aquifers can be identified.
Knowing the location of underground layers of permeable rock containing water is critical to determine the best drilling location and the appropriate equipment to use.
Determining Depth
Geophysical surveys provide valuable information about the depth of the aquifer, allowing you to determine the cost of the drilling project.
This knowledge can save you time and money by eliminating the need for unnecessary drilling.
Characterizing the Aquifer
Geophysical surveys can provide information about the properties of an aquifer, including thickness, permeability, and porosity of the rock layer.
This knowledge helps determine the possible yield and feasibility of the drilling project.
Minimizing Risks
Geophysical surveys identify potential problems with formations, minimising drilling risks.
This information is crucial to ensure a successful drilling project.
Borehole or Well Water Detection Process
Groundwater Surveys specialises in borehole or well water detection in both Agricultural and Industrial as well as Residential & Urban Groundwater Exploration. Our surveys involve both desktop and field survey techniques to identify potential groundwater sources for borehole drilling.
Agricultural & Industrial Water Detection
Desktop Study and Field surveys
This survey process includes a desktop study of geological, topographical, and geohydrological maps, along with aerial photos to identify potential groundwater-bearing structures. The field survey involves taking measurements with electrodes to generate a 2D subsurface profile map to determine the best location for drilling a borehole.
Residential & Urban Underground Water Exploration Surveys
Desktop Study and Field surveys
In areas where groundwater is easy to find, complex techniques are not cost-effective. Urban infrastructure can create interferences for geophysics, requiring large open areas for meaningful surveys. Water diviners are popular in urban areas. Groundwater Surveys uses an imported state-of-the-art water detection device with an 85%-90% accuracy in locating underground water sources. Soundings are conducted in potential groundwater areas identified by the desktop study.
