              BOREHOLE EQUIPPING   

Borehole

A “borehole” as the name suggests, means a vertical cylindrical hole of relatively small diameter drilled/bore on the ground’s surface and below for abstracting water. A vertical cylindrical hole is usually constructed using a drilling rig, in contrast to a ‘Well’ which defines a vertical hole of relatively large diameter dug by hand to access the water table.

Features of a Borehole

Hydrocon offers a wide range of borehole equipment, ranging in sizes, power supply, depths of installation, and volumes of water extracted.

        ANTI-THEFT SOLAR PANEL MOUNTING CLIPS INSTALLATION – MAUN

These anti-theft clips are security devices worth having because solar panels can easily get stolen. Anti-theft solar clips are cheaper compared to the potential cost of having to replace the stolen panels.

  • No nuts, bolts/screws
  • Applicable for both domestic and commercial use
  • Theft-resistant, they require an anti-theft removal tool to be removed

                                                

The system powers a 7.5 kW submersible pump from the river to the reservoir.
