What We Do
Borehole Drilling
We drill high-quality boreholes for:
- Private homes
- Townhouses and residential estates
- Businesses and office parks
- Schools and clinics
- Restaurants and commercial buildings
- Industrial and construction sites
- Smallholdings and plots
Our heavy-duty rigs are suited for Sandton’s mixed geology — granite, quartz rock, clay, and sand layers. Whether you want water for household use, gardens, irrigation systems, or commercial operations, we drill to the correct depth to reach a reliable underground source.
Borehole Yield Testing
After we strike water, we don’t guess. We conduct full water-yield testing to measure the flow rate and recovery rate.
This ensures:
- The correct pump size
- Accurate recommendations for tank capacity
- Safe long-term performance of your borehole
Proper testing prevents pump burn-out and ensures your system runs efficiently.

We install all borehole pump types, including:
- Submersible pumps

- Booster pumps
We use top-quality pump brands suited for Sandton’s deeper boreholes and strong pressure requirements. We handle all wiring, plumbing connections, and controller setups for a full turnkey installation.
