Project experience from company website

National Library of Wales

National Library of Wales

The client required a substantial pond on their land and used GSI to drill a borehole and install a pump to access water from an aquifer. After 100m of drilling, they struck water and achieved a flow of around 20,000 litres a day, fulfilling their vision for the pond.

Spring Water Project

GSI delivered for the client under unbelievable time constraints and short notice, sinking a 53m borehole to provide crystal clear spring water. The client would not hesitate to recommend the company.

Private Well Installation

GSI drilled a private well behind the client's house, leaving everything clean and tidy. The client highly recommends their work for anyone looking to drill a well.

Borehole Drilling (Failed Attempts)

Another company started this borehole project 14 months prior, with many failed attempts and significant cost. GSI was brought in to drill the borehole and was a pleasure to deal with.

Water Borehole for Irrigation and Domestic Use

On a friend's recommendation, GSI drilled a water borehole for irrigation and domestic use. They were the only company that could finish the job from geology to connecting to the existing water system.
