From selecting a drilling location to developing a complete water supply system, Sentient Water Solutions helps homeowners, businesses and agricultural clients plan their borehole projects.
Siting is the process of assessing your property to help identify a recommended drilling position before any drilling begins. We look at your property layout, access for drilling equipment, and the practical requirements of your water supply, then recommend a position that gives the drill the best possible start.
Property and access assessment
Recommended drilling position
Practical planning for equipment and water points
Siting helps select where to drill. Groundwater availability and sustainable yield can only be confirmed once the borehole is drilled and tested.

Construction
Drilling & Casing Requirements
Professional drilling develops your own groundwater supply. Drilling depth and casing requirements depend on ground conditions encountered on site, which is why we plan each borehole around its actual geology rather than a fixed template.

Performance
Yield Testing
After drilling, yield testing assesses how the borehole actually performs. This tells you what the borehole can sustainably deliver, which drives every downstream decision: pump sizing, storage capacity and how the supply can be used.

Equipment
Pump Selection, Installation & Controls
The right pump depends on your borehole depth, yield and required flow rates. We select, size and install the pump and control system, including pressure control, so your supply is consistent and dependable.

Professional installation and commissioning
Smart controls and pressure optimisation

Water quality
Water Storage & Laboratory-Based Filtration Design
Storage gives you a buffer supply and protects your pump from short-cycling. Before any water is used, we test it: laboratory analysis against SANS 241 standards tells us exactly what treatment the water needs, and we design the filtration around those results.

Honest expectations
Siting Recommends a Position. Drilling Confirms the Water.
Borehole siting helps select a drilling position with the best available indications. What no siting method can guarantee is how much water is underground, or whether the yield will be sustainable. Groundwater availability and sustainable yield are only confirmed through drilling and yield testing.
That is why we plan borehole projects in stages: site first, drill second, test before equipping, and treat based on laboratory results. You invest in each step with real information from the previous one.

Pricing
Quotation-Based Pricing
Borehole projects are quoted per project rather than at a fixed rate. Costs depend on your location, access for drilling equipment, the drilling depth needed to reach water, the ground conditions encountered, and the casing requirements of the borehole.
