Camera inspection, flushing and re-equipping of a silted 65 m coastal borehole, restoring 12 m³/hr.
The resort's 12-year-old borehole had dropped to a third of its original yield. A borehole camera survey showed a collapsed screen section and heavy silt. We flushed and re-developed the well, installed a new stainless screen liner and a sand-proof 3 HP pump with a variable-speed drive.
Yield returned to 12 m³/hr and turbidity fell below 1 NTU. The resort now runs its laundry and gardens entirely on borehole water.
