How is the full geothermal borehole installation installed?
A. We start by drilling the hole; depending on the depth of the hole and the ground conditions this takes about five hours. Then we will install the ground loop, this means putting a weight on the ‘U’ bend and feeding it down into the borehole to the depth required. After this has been completed we back fill the borehole with thermally enhanced bentonite grout to ensure maximum conductivity of heat between the ground and the liquid in the pipe. This can all be done in one day.
