Borehole video showing how to sink a ground source borehole collector pipe

These 2 video clips (Ecoliving 1 and Ecoliving 2) show a borehole collector pipe being installed in a borehole as part of a ground source heat pump installation.

The borehole is 160m deep and full of water. Watch how with the right equipment, the borehole collector can be easily sunk in a controlled manner. This avoids lots of physical effort, time and potential damage to the borehole collector pipe.

The length of the 2 video clips is the time it took to sink the collector pipe 160m. The video was filmed in Sweden in conjunction with ground source collector manufacturer and borehole equipment supplier, MuoviTech. Ecoliving is MuoviTech's distributor in the UK.
