Drilling and Construction of the Borehole
A pneumatic hammer and drill are used at the end of the drill pipe, rapidly shattering the rock. The shattered rock is continuously removed from the borehole as air is forced through a hole in drill pipe and out of a nozzle on the bottom. This drilling process is very noisy, muddy, and messy.

Determining the Yield of the Borehole
Borehole yield is determined by aquifer testing, the process of installing a pump and pumping it to find out the maximum that can be extracted. Yields are described in an engineering context as themaximum water available over a specified period of time at a specific location.
A borehole isn’t best understood as just any hole bored into the ground to obtain water or brines. Instead, it’s usually seen as a long, deep well drilled for that purpose — one which may reach several hundred meters deep and require advanced drilling methods to complete.

Pumping, Treatment, and Reticulation of Water
The final stage of borehole drilling requires the pumping and piping of water from the successful borehole. The end use of the water will largely determine the type of pumping and reticulation system that will be installed. With too many variations on the nature and type of pump installations to go into detail here, we will discuss the most appropriate options with you in person.
