Casing a Submersible Water Bore Perth

 

Most submersible water bores are drilled between 18 metres and 60 metres deep depending on the depth to groundwater in Perth. Call 9246 0111.

Most submersible bore holes in Perth are drilled by the rotary mud method. After the desired depth has been drilled the drill bit and the metal drill rods are retrieved. Next the permanent bore casing is lowered into the bore hole in 6 metre lengths which are glued and screwed together.

In this video you will see the Class 9 PVC bore casing being lowered into the freshly drilled bore. The first 6 metres is slotted casing to allow the ground water to flow in. Inside the bore casing will be suspended a submersible pump.

If your interested in a water bore in Perth call 9246 0111 or read more about drilling a water bore at your home in Attadale or any Perth suburb HERE

Reticulation system Upper Swan

 

It puts a smile on our face to finally turn on the 4,000 square metres of irrigation we have just installed around this house in Upper Swan.
Gear drive sprinklers are covering the lawn nicely. This is all part of a much larger property. We have installed a 1.5 kw submersible pump in the recently drilled eight inch bore operated by float switches this fills a near-by 12,000 gallon tank.

Pumping from the tank to the irrigation system we have installed a Grundfos Vertical multistage 4KW centrifugal pump. The pump has amazing grunt to pump to the far paddocks and horse troughs and is run by a convential reticulation controller.

Bore Automation Old Well

Bore automation Bull Creek
Manual gate valve feeding front station from bore

Today we are visiting a client in Bull Creek about automating his old well.

At the moment he turns on the old well manually from the DOL starter near the metre box. He then turns on two manual gate valves near the old well to send water to the front and back of his Bull Creek home.

We will send our specialist bore election to fully automate the system. He will install a new reticulation controller to interface with the bore. He will also run cables to the gate valves and we will replace with automatic 24 volt solenoid valves turned on and off by the reticulation controller.

We are expert at the automation of water bores. For more information check out our website HERE or call Troy on 9246 011

Bore Automation Perth

We are automating an old bore in the southern Perth suburb of Shoalwater.

As pictured it is an old style well with a tin lid.

The sprinkler system is currently manually operated with five inground gate valves. This is common with these older style Perth water bores.

We will replace manual valves with 24  V solenoid valves which will be wired into a new reticulation controller. Our electrician will do the interface to start the bore automatically via a 24 V relay.

We do this type of Perth bore automation quite regularly with single station bore automations from as low as $750.

If you are in Perth and we can help you with a bore automation check out our website HERE or call one of our team on 9246 0111

Water bore in Yokine or Tuart Hill area

The Yokine area has many water bores
Water bores in the Yokine area

We sent a customer in Tuart Hill a quote several months ago for a new water bore at his home in Tuart Hill.

He kept the quote and recently contacted us asking if the quote was still current. We attended on site to discuss where we would drill and cut in to  exsisting reticulation.

The ground conditions call for a 39 metre bore. Water bearing ground is around 27 metres deep and we will drill 12 metres into water.

We have done many bores in the Yokine and Tuart Hill area so if you would like to discuss a water bore for your home call 9246 0111 or if you live in Tuart Hill and would like a new submersible water bore that would save you money get more details HERE

Water bores in Two Rocks

We have vast experience in drilling and servicing water bores in the Two Rocks area and surrounds over the last two decades.

We have drilled dozens of bores stretching from Yanchep and Two Rocks across to Seatrees Estate and  Breakwater Estate. Bores in the area range from some shallow ones right near the coast at Yanchep and Two Rocks typically around 18 metres and up to 60 metres further inland near Seatrees Estate and Breakwater Estate.

In the smaller residential blocks in Two Rocks we normally install 1.1kw submersible pumps perfect for normal home gardens. In the 5 acre blocks over at Seatrees and Breakwater we would normally instal a 1.5 or 2.2 kw pump to give closer to 150 litres per minute.

All new drilling and installations are handled by our new Bore team at Virgin Bores.

For bore service and repair call Troy on 0408 454 130 or if you live in the Two Rocks area and you would like to discuss a submersible water bore look HERE

Woodridge Water Bore & Reticulation 

We have drilled many water bores in the Woodridge area and have experience in drilling deep water bores.

In general terms it takes us about a week to complete a Woodridge water bore with drilling, electrical and connection to your reticulation at your Woodridge property.

The depth to water in the area varies. Two of the water bores we have drilled in the area were 55 metres to water and 50 metres to water. Many people are interested in talking to us about a new water bore because they would like to save money.

We specialise in drilling these deep water bores in areas like Woodridge and Gabaddah.

Call us on 9246 0111 for a chat about a new water bore or repair of a bore and reticulation in the northern suburbs or get more information HERE .

New water bore Mount Lawley

We have drilled a lot of successful water bores in the Mount Lawley area over the years and we know the area well.

Next week we will drill another water bore in Mount Lawley itself right on the hill. The water bore is an important part of  new landscaping at the property.

The start of water bearing ground at this Mount Lawley property is around 26.8 metres below ground.  We will drill to 39 metres, 12 metres below the water table to help ensure optimal supply.

We have been drilling and repairing water bores in the Mount Lawley for over 16 years.

We have specialist repairers and bore electricians ready to help with any bore service or repair issues with any brand of bore or bore pump.
