Borehole Drilling Services for GSHP Projects
Our Services
Every service is backed by practical guidance, operational oversight and robust quality assurance, helping commercial ground source heat pump projects progress safely, efficiently and to specification.
Borehole Drilling and Loop Installation
Commercial-scale borehole drilling designed to meet the demands of complex GSHP projects.
Thermal Response Testing
Verified ground data to support informed design decisions and optimise long-term system performance.
Pipework Integrity Testing
Pressure testing to confirm underground pipework is ready for commissioning and support system reliability.
Our Approach
Every commercial GSHP project is different, but the principles behind our approach remain the same. From early planning through to completion, we focus on delivering quality, transparency and certainty at every stage.
Types of Projects
Large residential
Networked ground source systems are perfect for large residential buildings and apartments: our rigs and team are experienced in working at scale to drill for these larger, networked heating and cooling systems.
Commercial
Commercial GSHP systems can provide ambient heating, heating and cooling - or even industrial process heat - we work on commercial sites of all scales to deliver GSHP installation requirements as per the project design.
Public Sector
Schools, hospitals and public buildings all have unique operational requirements. We help deliver reliable ground source heat pump systems that support long-term sustainability and lower running costs.
Heat networks
Designed to serve multiple buildings from a central energy source, ground source heat networks demand careful planning and specialist delivery. We provide both to help projects succeed.
