Purpose

Objective

Nicholls Boreholes were engaged to licence, design, supply, install and maintain a new water borehole system for the school to save costs and support their irrigation system, which keeps their grounds looking amazing.

About the project

Due to the required daily water usage, an Abstraction Licence was required from the Environment Agency. Our Nicholls Licensing and Consulting team undertook all aspects for the client.

After reviewing the geology, Nicholls installed a 243m deep water borehole into the chalk below the site, targeting the best quality water available.

The borehole was tested to EA standards before the appropriate pumping system was installed to fill the irrigation storage tanks. No filtration was required as a result of the great quality water.

The client now benefits from ongoing licensing support and servicing by our in-house Service Team.

We are delighted with our decision to partner with Nicholls Boreholes for the installation of a borehole and irrigation system at Reeds School. This initiative aligns with our environmental strategy, allowing us to reduce our reliance on traditional water sources and minimize our environmental footprint.
