Completed Project: Power Station Monitoring Wells

Project Summary:

Objective:

Monitoring wells at a power station

Problems:

Overhead restrictions
Aggressive water
Time and sunstroke!

Solution:

Boreline® flexible drop pipe

Introduction:

This new Power Station is being built far from away from any Cities. It is in the middle of a desert where temperatures can soar to 120°F (49°C).

Boreline® was chosen for a number of reasons:

Firstly, there are overhead power cables that restrict access to the monitoring well. A crane cannot get close to these cables so installing the Boreline® was ideal as this is done horizontally.
Secondly, it is quick and easy to install Boreline® thereby saving valuable time and manpower. Transporting the Boreline® to site is also a major advantage.

power2 — The Boreline® has been laid on the ground away from the well. The patented Boreline® coupling is screwed into the check-valve of the pump and the hose attached with the double-ringed clamps.
The power cable is laid along the length of the Boreline® and then attached to the hose using the Boreline® Cable Straps. The Boreline® will support the power cable along the entire length of the hose.

power3 — The pump is lowered into position. Note the base plate used to support the pump while the Boreline® rolling wheel is placed in position directly over the well. The Boreline® is then lifted over the rolling wheel.

power4 — The other end of the Boreline® is attached to the truck.

power5 — The truck is now used to install the Boreline® and pump. It simply backs-up towards the well while the assistant ensures the Boreline® remains positioned over the centre of the wheel.

power6 — The truck will stop as close as possible to the well.

power7 — The Boreline® Clamp is used to support the hose so that the end can be untied from the truck.

power8 — The base plate has been attached to the Boreline® coupling. This is lifted, the clamp removed and then all lowered into the well.

power9 — Time to recharge after that hour in the heat. That desert sun has taken its toll on the guys.
