A new water bore to be drilled at Baldivis home
The site for a new Baldivis submersible water bore

Today we are quoting on a new submersible water bore in the Badivis area. The Baldivis property is a couple of acres.

We are quoting a 40 metre submersible water bore which is suitable for the Baldivis property. We will install 100 ml slotted bore casing to the bottom 6 metres of this new submersible water bore and we will pack the slotted with drillers gravel to enhance the filtration.

The Baldivis borehole will be equipped with a high quality stainless steel pump and motor.

It is always a great time to look at a new subsmersible water bore for your home. Call on 9246 0111 or if you have a property in the Baldivis area and would like more information on a n ew submersible water bore look HERE

We will be drilling a new submersible water bore for this front yard in Aubin Grove. We visited to check out where we are going locate the water bore (pictured).

Location of water bore Aubin Grove property

We have drilled many water bores in Aubin Grove area and know the groundwater in the area well. The start of water bearing ground is about 5.5 metres below this block.

We will drill this customer an 18 metre modern submersible water bore. The new water bore would be concealed beneath the lawn and covered by a small rectangular green lid.

The bore will be drilled by a modern and powerful rotary mud drilling rig.

Our client works in IT and is going to interface the single phase bore pump start box to be automatically controlled by his fully programmable “open source” reticulation controller that he imported from the USA.

Water bore for Parkwood

We have a client in Parkwood who is getting a modern submersible water bore. They live opposite this beautiful park.

Replacing old well opposite this park in Parkwood

It is 3 metres to groundwater and there is 22.5 metres of water at their Parkwood home. We will drill 16 to 22 metres and use a good quality stainless steel submersible pump and motor.

The new submersible water bore will replace the old style well with a tin lid that he dug and sludge pumped over 30 years ago (pictured below) These shallow old style wells are commonly seen in Parkwood, Ferndale and Lynwood area. We will replace old style well with a new water bore which is not visible from the surface.

We will install 100 ml slotted casing to the bottom 6 metres of the bore. We will pack the slotted casing with drillers gravel to enhance water filtration. We will also air develop. This is particularly important as the area has uncertain ground conditions and potential clays. We have drilled a number of bores in the Parkwood area and surrounds.

We also have teams repairing waterbores in the Parkwood and surrounding areas of Lynwood, Langford and Canning Vale and installing and repairing reticulation.

Call us on 9246 0111 or if you live in the Parkwood area and would like to discuss replacing an old well with a new style submersible water bore there is more information HERE

New water bore Southern River

We are going to be drilling at this property in Southern River. We have a lot of experience in the area and can be contacted on 9246 0111.

We have drilled a lot of water bores in the Southern River area and know the conditions well. The depth to water at this property in 4.3 metres and we would drill 18 to 20 metres into water.  The ground conditions in Southern River can vary with interspersed layers of clay which can inhibit ground water. For this reason we often allow extra slotted casing, extra gravel packing and extra air developing to help compensate.

Southern River home with new submersible bore

We would use a good quality Italian stainless steel pump, a 1.1 kw motor coupled to a 12 stage wet end.

We attend the property to talk to our client about their requirements and about where to drill their water bore. We aim to drill close to the metre box to minimise costs to the client. Pictured is where we are looking at drilling at this property.

We also service and repair water bores, bore pumps and reticulation systems in Southern River and surrounds including Piara Waters.

There are several elevated Perth suburbs require a deep submersible water bore.

One of those suburbs is Doubleview. For this Doubleview customer we drilled to 58 metres through mainly limestone and sand. The water bore is connected to existing reticulation and the electrical connections have already been done. In this case we are consolidating the client’s two existing controllers into one. This is because we have far more flow from the bore.  A small rectangular green plastic lid will be place over the hole and it will be covered in grass.

We have installed a 1.5 kw stainless-steel submersible pump which is delivering about 80 litres a minute.

Some other parts of the Perth metropolitan area that require deep submersible water bores are near the water tower in City Beach, the elevated parts of Kardinya and Sinagra near Wanneroo.

Our drilling teams at Virgin Water Bores are very experienced in drilling deep submersible water bores. If you are in an elevated position and would like to save money with a water bore give us a call on 9246 0111 or find more information about deep water bores on our webiste HERE

Fix Master solenoid valve Wanneroo

Craig is one of our reticulation service team and he had had fun at this job in Wanneroo 9246 01121.

We took some time to locate and fix this master solenoid valve at the Wanneroo home of one of our customers. Fortunately the householder had a plan of their reticulation system, it saves a lot of time and money.

Surprisingly common to also find such a corroded manual gate valve that isolates the retic from the mains water supply which is often just near the water meter.

Nice work Craig!

We service reticulation and sprinkler systems from both mains water and submersible water bores. If you are in Wanneroo or the surrounding areas of Sinagra, Heathridge or Wangara we repair and fix bores and reticulation daily. Our mobile teams will be in the area and if we can help you call on 9246 0111 or find out more about finding and fixing solenoids HERE

Water bore Cloverdale

 

We have installed a submersible pump in a 20 metre bore in the front yard of a new house being built in Cloverdale.

We installed a 1.1 kilowatt submersible pump and the owner will connect to a new reticulation system in their new Cloverdale home.

Hard to imagine that we have thousands of these pumps up to 70 metres below ground all around Perth.

This Cloverdale water bore will be under the driveway in this southern Perth suburb near the airport.

New Water Bore Rossmoyne

 

Watching this video you can see this new Rossmoyne Water bore is gushing with water and there is only a small pile of sand from the water bore drilling process for this 18 metre submersible water bore in Rossmoyne.

It was drilled  with the portable drilling rig in the Rossmoyne backyard because there was restricted access. Groundwater was encountered at only 4.5 metres down.

Here we see the bore being flushed as groundwater is forced to the surface by compressed air alone. At the same time the “mud tank” is being given a clean. It was used for the recirculating drilling fluids during rotary mud drilling.

Drilling New Bore

The next thing we will install the submersible pump and connect to the retic system.

We will also specialist in repairing your Rossmoyne water bore or reticulation

If you live in Rossmoyne or surrounding areas like Shelley or Willeton call 92460111 or find out more about what is involved in drilling a water bore in the Perth suburbs  HERE

Heathridge Water Bore

It took us two days to drill this deep submersible water bore in the Heathridge area.

We drilled this Heathridge submersible water bore to 55 metres. It was slow as we were drilling through limestone. We drilled this Heathridge bore on the top lawn near house.

Then we installed the submersible pump and our retic team will install a full reticulation system in the coming days.

We can take care of the whole process for you. Drilling a new water bore and installation of a new reticulation system. As we have been in business nearly 20 years we then care of any bore or reticulation service and repair for our customers.
