Borehole Drilling

Water supply and dewatering boreholes that keep pits dry and operations supplied with water.

We drill boreholes for water supply and for pit dewatering, lowering the water table and controlling groundwater inflow so bench and highwall stability is not compromised as an open pit deepens and expands. Dewatering boreholes range from deep, large-diameter production wells to shallower drainage holes around the pit perimeter.

Water supply boreholes are drilled and equipped to support site operations, from dust suppression and wash-down to process and potable water. Hole depth, casing and screen placement are matched to the aquifer and to the yield the operation needs.
