Camera tests
This allows us to examine walls, casings, screen, gravel, deteriotation and perforation blockage and/or other physical problems.
The inspection is visible on a live inspection and recorded on a storage device to be analysed after inspection.
We offer testing services ranging from:
The Yield test calculates the maximum water that can be pumped out of the borehole and the time it takes to recover the recharge of water from the water source/vain.
The Flow is calculated to never drop lower than the strike/Water source.
Step Test :
During this test the pump rate is increased in steps at regular intervals. These intervals will be calculated after assessing the borehole.
Constant Rate:
Constant rate test duration ranges from 8-48 Hours (not exceeding 48 Hours), the time is usually calculated proportional to the yield test.
Recovery:
During the recovery, the draw down is calculated measuring the level directly after the constant rate test.

Before the test can commence the borehole will be handed over to Arena in good order by the drilling company.
