Planning your first borehole project?
Start with these common questions.
Share your site location, what you want to achieve and any information you already have about the ground or an existing borehole. Photographs, access dimensions and a sketch of the site can help a contractor understand the job before a visit.
Ask each company to set out what its quote includes and excludes. Discuss surveys, drilling, equipment, testing, site reinstatement and ongoing support where relevant. Check how the company handles changes to the scope before agreeing to proceed.
