Boreholes installation

Israel (1987) / Argentina (2003) / Spain (2003)

Project Description:  Metal pipes corrode; they are expensive and installation requires about 3 to 4 days.  WELLMASTER pipe is more expensive than PEX and can be installed only once. \

Challenges

• Corrosion of metal pipes
• Installation requires days
• Creep in PE pipes

Solution

PEXGOL™ pipes of class 15, 24 and 30 have been used in deep boreholes since 1987.  Installation time 3 to 4 hours. Deepest installation of pipe class 30 is 270 m; 315 mm in one unit at a length of 70 meters without fittings. Pump can be removed and replaced easily.

Annual savings of $15,000 per borehole.
