Yield Tests

Yield Testing Services

Know your borehole’s true potential before you invest further.
Our professional Yield Testing Service delivers precise data on your borehole’s sustainable output, helping you design the right pump, filtration and storage system — and avoid costly mistakes.

Why Choose a Yield Test

  • Evidence-Based Decisions: Understand your borehole’s long-term production capacity.
  • Protects Your Investment: Prevents over-pumping that can damage the borehole or aquifer.
  • Optimal System Design: Correct pump sizing and filtration choice from day one.
  • Compliance & Certification: We provide reports often required by municipalities, insurers, or estate management.
  • Cost-Saving: Avoids unnecessary upgrades or equipment replacements later.

Our Process

  1. Site Visit & Setup: We install a test pump, flow meter and water-level monitoring equipment.
  2. Step-Drawdown Test: Short bursts at increasing pumping rates to assess aquifer behaviour.
  3. Constant-Rate Pumping Test: Extended controlled pumping (6–24 hours) to determine sustainable yield.
  4. Recovery Monitoring: Track how quickly the water level rebounds after pumping stops.
  5. Certified Reporting: We issue a full report with flow-versus-draw-down data, graphs, and pump sizing recommendations.

Deliverables

  • Temporary pump setup and safe operation
