Borehole Drilling

Universal Construction offers a comprehensive suite of services encompassing the drilling of boreholes. Boreholes, integral to providing access to vital groundwater resources, serve communities and industries across South Sudan and Uganda by supplying fresh water for drinking, irrigation, and industrial usage. We take pride in our capabilities to provide safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible borehole drilling services, crucial to the regions we operate in.

Borehole Drilling Services

1. Site Assessment and Planning: Every project begins with a thorough site assessment. Our team of experts conduct geological surveys and use modern geophysical instruments to identify the ideal location for the borehole. This process also includes assessing the potential yield and quality of the water, the type of drilling method required, and the environmental impact.

2. Drilling: Our skilled drilling team, equipped with the latest machinery, are capable of handling different drilling methods, such as rotary drilling or percussion drilling, depending on the geological conditions of the site. We use industry best practices to ensure that the drilling process is executed efficiently, safely, and with minimal environmental disturbance.

3. Installation of Casing and Well Screens: After the drilling is complete, we install a casing to support the borehole and prevent it from collapsing. A well screen is also installed at the bottom of the casing to allow water to enter the borehole while keeping out sand and other particles that could clog the well.

4. Pump Selection and Installation: Depending on the yield of the borehole and the intended use of the water, we recommend and install the most suitable pumping system. Our expertise encompasses various types of pumps including hand pumps, solar pumps, and submersible electric pumps.

5. Borehole Testing: We conduct comprehensive testing to verify the yield and quality of the water. This includes pump testing to ensure that the borehole can sustain the required water extraction rate, and water quality testing to confirm that the water is safe for its intended use.

6. Borehole Completion and Development: The final steps of the process involve sealing the top of the borehole, developing the borehole to improve its yield, and setting up the extraction system. We also provide clients with detailed borehole logs and completion reports.

Aftercare Services

1. Borehole Maintenance: Boreholes require regular maintenance to ensure their longevity and functionality. We offer comprehensive maintenance services which include periodic inspection, cleaning, and repairs.

2. Rehabilitation of Boreholes: Over time, boreholes may need to be rehabilitated due to reduced water yield or quality. Our services include borehole rehabilitation to restore them to their original or improved condition.

At Universal Construction, we understand the critical role that boreholes play in providing reliable access to water, especially in regions where surface water is scarce. Our dedicated team of experienced geologists, engineers, and drillers are committed to delivering borehole drilling services that meet the highest standards of quality, safety, and environmental responsibility.
