As a core part of Teckna Group’s activities, our geothermal drilling service is something that we accept nothing but the best quality results in. We pride ourselves in being one of the leading specialist drilling companies operating in the ground source sector and offer a full range of geothermal drilling services to ISO 9001:2015 as we continue to meet our customer’s needs for every single job.
When it comes to geothermal well drilling, we ensure that every task we are required to do is done to the best possible standard. From the installation of the connection pipework and manifold systems, to the testing of the pipework and addition of heat loss fluid to the completed system. We understand that well drilling is a necessary job, and we would never want to leave our customer’s worse off as a result.
We use specialised geothermal drilling rigs that are capable of operating in some of the most difficult strata, as no job is too difficult for our team of dedicated professionals. Our rigs install temporary steel casing whilst simultaneously drilling the borehole to allow for maximum safety and protection whilst performing a drilling job.
The rigs use a variety of mediums when drilling, these include:
- Air
- Air-flush
- Water
- Mud
Geothermal Well Drilling
Our efficient drilling service can use these flushing mediums to drill to depths of over 200m. If they are drilling in ideal ground conditions, geothermal drilling can be completed as quickly as 100-150m per day.
As well as our specialist equipment, we also operate loop installation and grouting equipment. This allows for the group source loops to be installed without damage to the loop itself, easily and economically.
Our equipment has undertaken some upgrades over the years, as we always look to improve our tools to ensure that we can provide the best possible job at all times. An example of this is the latest edition of the duplex pump with a high-water flow. This duplex pump maintains a strong enough pressure to clean the borehole during the geothermal drilling process.
To ensure that we continue to provide an efficient service, all of our equipment is track mounted. This allows for easy manoeuvrability around the drilling project and makes for quick loading on and off-site, meaning that we will not be in your way for too long!
We also operate specialised imported mud separation units that keep the project area as clean as possible, as we always look to leave the area in the same condition, we found it, and never ever messier. The mud separation unit minimises the freshwater used, ensuring the separation of the drilling waste and the drilling water. This keeps the disposable content to a minimum.
As part of our professional installation service, we always ensure that we operate to all the latest drilling standards, as we use reputable products sourced from within the UK from MGS.
Our geothermal borehole drilling complies to the highest standard of materials, workmanship and installation, and we make sure that we work within the restrictions detailed by the Ground Source Heat Pump Association. We also work adhering to the British Drilling Association, Environment Agency and Microgeneration Installation Standards as we continue to provide the best possible service.
