Bore Perth, New Water Bores

Deep Bore in Wembley Downs

Leave a comment

Virgin Bores has just drilled a deep new submersible water bore in Wembley Downs 9246 0111.

By Perth metropolitan area standards it was very deep at 62 metres. The house is on top of the hill near the water tower. We know in advance how far we have to drill as we look at the depth to water in the Perth Groundwater Atlas on the Department of Water website HERE

Pictured here is a trailer mounted air compressor. We use this via the roll of pipe seen on the back of the truck to pump compressed air down the newly drilled bore. This is called “air developing” and flushes the introduced drilling muds out of the borehole and helps develop water flow from the superficial aquifer before we install the submersible pump.

Once we drill a water bore we can design a new retic system if needed and will look after our clients ongoing needs to service their bore and retic in the Wembley, Wembley Downs, City Beach and Doubleview areas.

Thanks to Pauline for letting us know she was happy with the modern submersible water bore we drilled at her Wembley home. It is great to get such a good review from Pauline for our installation team at Virgin Bores.

“I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful job your guys did in installing my recent bore. I have never encountered such polite, considerate and thorough trades people before and it’s a credit to your business for contracting only the best.

New Submersible Bore Applecross

Our installation arm, Virgin Bores, has just successfully completed the installation of a new water bore in Applecross. The proximity to the river was a concern because of salinity levels so special design considerations were used. These included a high yield stainless steel screen. These screens, designed to allow higher volumes of water in than normal slotted PVC casing are able to be put in at a shallower depth. The less dense fresh water is above the underlying more dense water of higher salinity. Virgin Bores local knowledge helped arrive at a great outcome.

Water Bore Quote Leederville

Leave a comment

Virgin Bores was quoting on a new submersible water bore in West Leederville when we spotted this fantastic recycling with an old mattress frame / springs used to make a vertical garden.

Great recycling with a vertical garden made mattress springs
Vertical garden made out of mattress inner springs

 

It makes a perfect frame for the plants to climb on. These plants will flourish with a new submersible water bore and the nutrient rich Perth bore water. The Perth coastal plain is generally ideal for bore water. Unlike the old fashioned wells with the tin lids a modern submersible bore is invisible and silent. It lasts and will save you money. Also with a water bore you can water your garden three days a week instead of two on mains water. Obviously you only water when needed.

Water Bore Quote Ferndale

Leave a comment

Today we visited a customer in Ferndale about a new water bore for their home after they rang us on 9246 0111.

Ferndale is a south-eastern suburb of Perth and is in the City of Canning.

There are clays and potential salinity in the area so we would use our considerable local knowledge and experience to ensure water flow is maximized and salt level is minimized.

The 4 inch submersible bore hole will be drilled to about 18 meters as that is the base of the superficial acquirer at this particular house. The Department of Water data base gives us a lot of the information we need.

If you would like a quote on a new submersible bore HERE or call us anytime on 9246 0111.

We have also drilled many water bores in the surrounding areas of Wilson, Lynwood Riverton and Cannington. With nearly 20 years in the business we have the expertise.

Swollen Bore Pipe

Leave a comment

Our Perth northern suburbs bore service man snapped this pic of a swollen PVC pipe in Duncraig.

Heat induced swollen PVC pipe
Heat from a centrifugal pump that ran without water deformed this PVC pipe.

The centrifugal pump in an old well had clearly been run without water flowing. The pump had consequently overheated causing the heat stress on the adjacent PVC and the resultant swelling. If you have any bore or well problem in Perth then please call us. Our mobile service teams are ready to help you north or south of the river.

We have equipped bore service vans on the road who can help you with any issues you may have with your bore or reticulation we can fix it quickly.

If you are in the northern suburbs and your bore needs repairing call Troy on 9246 0111  or book a bore service online
