CCTV

In open-hole applications, video inspection enables examination of stratification, faults, fractures, joints, fissures and drilling wash-outs as well as areas of high water production. In cased hole situations, areas of sand infiltration, screen encrustation,clogging,case fractures and holes can be readily identified.
At Drilcorp, our State of the Art equipment combined with our technicians' expertise and experience can maximise the accuracy of the CCTV surveys and provide invaluable information to the client.

Micro-purging water sampling equipment

Monitoring of groundwater levels is a vital part of both geotechnical and contaminated land surveys.

Sampling and analysing groundwater is often necessary as part of a contaminated land investigation to identify concentrations of contaminants and determine the presence of chemicals. Drilcorp offer advanced micro-purging techniques to carry out these analyses.
In many cases measurement of various chemical parameters will also be carried out

Turbidity testing equipment

Turbidity is the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid caused by individual particles (suspended solids) that are generally invisible to the naked eye, similar to smoke in air. The measurement of turbidity is a key test of water quality.

Fluids can contain suspended solid matter consisting of particles of many different sizes. While some suspended material will be large enough and heavy enough to settle rapidly to the bottom of the container if a liquid sample is left to stand (the settleable solids), very small particles will settle only very slowly or not at all if the sample is regularly agitated or the particles are colloidal. These small solid particles cause the liquid to appear turbid.
Turbidity in open water may be caused by growth of phytoplankton. Human activities that disturb land, such as construction, can lead to high sediment levels entering water bodies during rain storms, due to storm water runoff, and create turbid conditions. Urbanized areas contribute large amounts of turbidity to nearby waters, through stormwater pollution from paved surfaces such as roads, bridges and parking lots.[1] Certain industries such as quarrying, mining and coal recovery can generate very high levels of turbidity from colloidal rock particles.

In drinking water, the higher the turbidity level, the higher the risk that people may develop gastrointestinal diseases[citation needed]. This is especially problematic for immune-compromised people, because contaminants like viruses or bacteria can become attached to the suspended solid. The suspended solids interfere with water disinfection with chlorine because the particles act as shields for the virus and bacteria. Similarly, suspended solids can protect bacteria from ultraviolet (UV) sterilization of water.
Drilcorp have specialist testing equipment to analyse the turbidity levels of water to ensure that the water meets the necessary standards for its intended application.
