Test Pumping and Pump Installation
Overview
After drilling a borehole, it’s essential to determine its true capacity and performance. At Ledali Drilling Ltd., we provide comprehensive test pumping and pump installation services that ensure your borehole delivers reliable water flow over the long term.
Our expert team uses advanced pumping equipment and monitoring tools to measure yield, drawdown, and recovery rates. Based on these results, we recommend and install the most efficient pump system suited to your borehole’s characteristics and your specific water needs.
Why It Matters
A borehole’s productivity depends not only on drilling but also on accurate testing and proper pump selection. Our services ensure that your investment performs optimally by:
-
Determining safe and sustainable pumping rates
-
Preventing over-pumping and aquifer damage
-
Ensuring accurate borehole yield estimation
-
Selecting pumps that match capacity, depth, and usage needs
-
Guaranteeing efficient, long-lasting water supply systems
Without proper testing and installation, even the best-drilled borehole can underperform or fail prematurely.
Our Approach
1. Step Drawdown Test
We begin by running the borehole at gradually increasing discharge rates to evaluate the relationship between drawdown and yield. This helps determine the safe pumping capacity.
2. Constant Discharge Test
The borehole is pumped continuously at a fixed rate for a set duration (typically 24–48 hours) to assess aquifer performance and recovery behavior.
3. Data Analysis and Reporting
Our hydro-geologists analyze test data to determine specific capacity, transmissivity, and storativity, providing a clear understanding of borehole potential.
4. Pump Selection and Sizing
Using test results, we recommend and supply the ideal pump system — considering flow rate, head, energy efficiency, and application requirements.
5. Professional Pump Installation
We install the chosen pump along with all necessary fittings, control panels, and safety devices. Our installations meet industry and manufacturer standards for durability and efficiency.
6. Final Testing and Commissioning
Before handover, we perform performance checks to confirm smooth operation and deliver a full report for your records.
