Water well decommissioning
Decommissioning a bore
Failed wells pose a threat to the underground water by allowing a path for contaminants to enter. If you have a bore that needs to be professionally removed, then we can decommission it for you.
Does your bore need to be sealed?
- More than 20 years old and not in use
- Constructed from steel casing
- Corroded
- Silted, collapsed or blocked
- Replaced by another bore
- Not needed
How do we decommission a bore?
Each bore must be considered individually, but the most effective way is to grout it with cement.
