Borehole prognosis report
Having this is the starting point to anyone wanting a borehole, it is a personal report which you own, and we will pass this information on as soon as it is completed. If you already have a hydro-geologists report we are more than happy to work from that as well. From this we are able to give you a Quotation of the construction of the borehole. Once you are happy with the quotation we will come to site and discuss the report, explaining the reports outcome. This is also a good opportunity to meet our customers face to face and discuss the best location of the borehole. We do use water diviner’s/downers which can increase the chances of finding water successfully.
What is a borehole prognosis report?
A borehole prognosis report is an in-depth desktop study conducted by an experienced, independent hydrogeologist. It reviews your land’s available geological and hydrogeological data to inform the planning of your borehole water supply.
Such a report is invaluable, potentially saving you time and money. It provides detailed insights into the geology of your land, and the anticipated quantity and quality of the groundwater. This information is critical for accurately designing and costing your borehole installation.
We understand the uncertainties associated with drilling a borehole. While there's no absolute guarantee of achieving the desired water volume, thorough land analysis significantly increases the likelihood of success for our clients.
Contents of the prognosis report:
- Geological setting: A detailed sequence of the expected site geology
- Target aquifer: Expected aquifer properties and groundwater levels
- Water Yield and Quality: Potential water yield and any anticipated quality issues
- Recommendations: Recommended borehole depth and location
- Maps and records: A site-map, geological map, and details/locations of borehole records in the area, sourced from the British Geological Survey (BGS)
- Nearby licensed abstractions: Information on any licensed water abstractions within a 2km radius of the site.
