Test Pumping Service

• Constant rate test pumping and step testing programmes on newly constructed boreholes and existing sources.
• An in-house capability to test up to a capacity of 500m3/hour.
• Stock including an extensive range of test pumps, ranging from 1m3/hour to 500m3/hour, rising mains, drop cable and starter/control panels.
• Test pumps complete with run and standby generators each automatically connected to its associated, bunded, fuel tank.
• Weir tanks of varying configurations and capacities complete with either ‘V’ notch or ‘rectangular’ notch fixings.
• Weir tanks with the provision to house data logging equipment for recording the flow rates for the duration of the test.
• Discharge pipe work ranging from 3″ up to 8″ diameter in lengths of up to 500m including all necessary pipe and head works.
• Discharge pipe work, flow meters, sample taps, gate valves and surface pumps.
• Ultra sonic flow meter to measure the yield of the borehole.
• Head works complete with two dip tubes, one to house a data logger to digitally collect the data on the water level during the test the other to enable the manually recording of the water level using a dip meter.
• Constant rate test pumping for any duration. This will be manned 24/7 by our own staff.
• A full range of data logging equipment including data loggers to monitor water level, conductivity and temperature. These are provided with cable lengths of 150m.
• Instrumentation to monitor the condition of the discharged water from the borehole for sand content, temperature, conductivity and PH
• A full range of manual equipment for monitoring multiple test pumps.

All test pumping is carried out to BS6316
