Boreline Pump Installation

The customer has to dewater the ground around a pit. The water quality is such that the steel pipes last about 18 months before corroding through the threaded sections.

Internal scaling is also a problem as this reduces flow and bits and pieces break-off blocking filters and meters down the line.

The rigid column was removed and replaced with Boreline. The Boreline was connected to the existing pump and the power cable attached to the Boreline along the length.

The pump was lowered in 12 minutes using a pick-up truck.

The following pictures show the removal of the rigid column pipe and the installation of Boreline.

This is really as simple as it looks.

The pump has been connected to the Boreline and the power cable attached along the length. The Boreline is then rolled out and final electrical connections are completed.

The weight of the pump is taken by the Boreline. The power cable can be seen attached and supported along the length.

This 830ft of 4” Boreline was supplied in two lengths. Here is the join showing how the Boreline can be joined.

The Spool-O-Matic simply lowers the pump into the well in one continuous length. No joints. No connections.

The base plate is finally lowered onto the temporary well head support

The temporary piping at the surface takes water away.
