Report on Borehole Installation Quote (R190,566.50)
We have received a detailed quote for the installation of a borehole on our premises, which covers all aspects of the process from site establishment to final connection to water storage tanks. Below is a breakdown of the key services included in the quote (JM Landmann quote attached):
- Site Establishment: Preparation and setup of the area for drilling.
- Labour and Transport: All costs related to the personnel and transportation of equipment.
- Geophysical Survey: Assessment of the site to determine the best drilling location and depth.
- Drilling (165mm): The borehole will be drilled to a depth suitable for accessing groundwater.
- Reaming of Borehole: Widening of the borehole to ensure proper installation and long-term efficiency.
- Yield Testing: A test to measure the water yield and confirm sufficient flow for our needs.
- Testing for Human Consumption: Ensuring that the water meets safety standards for drinking.
- Borehole Equipment: Installation of a submersible pump, necessary piping and fittings, submersible cable, and a control box.
- Electrical Connection: The borehole system will be connected to the nearest electricity point, which is conveniently located at a nearby DB board close to the storage facilities.
- Connection to Water Tanks: The system will also be connected to two 5000-litre water storage tanks, providing an ample water supply for our needs.
The cost for the entire project is estimated at R190,566.50. To initiate the work, an 80% deposit amounting to R152,453.20 is required.
It is worth noting that the selected drilling point is ideally situated at the top of the paddocks, close to the storage facilities, allowing easy access to the distribution box for electrical connections.
