Remon can easily determine whether you can reuse the existing source by checking the capacity, sand, diameter and quality. For you, this check is usually free of charge.
The construction of all source systems is possible. From a water source as your own drinking water supply to an irrigation source, fire hydrant and geothermal source systems. It is important whether a particular permit is required. Remon is happy to give you a completely non-binding advice on this.
When drilling your source, we bring up a lot of cubic meters of soil. Our latest addition to drilling is a drilling vehicle that fully automatically collects the released soil on a tipper. You then decide where you want the soil deposited on your land. If desired, at a small additional cost, Remon can also arrange for the disposal of the land.
Remon has 12 drilling vehicles. Every day when a drilling car created a well, the depth is different. It is known that if the drilling is deeper, with a generous diameter, the chances of better water quality of the raw source water are greatly increased. Then we are talking about depths of approx. 100 m. Because Remon has more than 21,000 references, with our database we can give you insight into the best water-bearing layers for your company.
There are several ways to obtain a waterwell. Many providers offer a ‘sprayed source’ or ‘bailer drilling’. This is a relatively inexpensive way that usually involves a local contractor. Manually or using a slurry tank, a hole is sprayed into the ground (maximum 10 to 15 meters) and then a filter tube is quickly inserted before the hole clogs up again. These sources can last for a number of years, but can also clog up after a year. Also, the water is usually heavily ferrous. In situations where the requirements on quality and capacity of the source are low, this is a good solution.
Remon has quickly abandoned pulse drilling and only uses the professional flushing and suction drilling methods. At flush drilling, the drilling mud (working water) is pressured through the rotary drill pipes. With the help of the drill head, the water flushes the soil loose. The soil that comes loose is pumped up and collected in the flushing tank (Remon no longer works with flushing ponds). When the driller is at depth, the drilling tubes are removed from the drilling hole. Due to the created overpressure, the walls of the drill hole cannot collapse. Subsequently, the filter is built in and the source is filled according to BRL guidelines.
At the suction drilling method, the drilling mud with the loosened soil is sucked up through the drilling tubes, contrary to flush drilling. This soil is pumped back into the flushing tank which is connected to the drilling hole. This method is often used for larger diameters. This method also allows accurate sampling, which leads to better data from the substrate.
Remon gives a 10-year warranty on sand-free water. Remon has a clear picture of the soil structure in the Netherlands. In the event we do not find water during drilling, you will not owe us any costs. We operate according to the principle: No cure, no pay!
