TND Drilling are specialists in the installation of both water bore holes and ground source heat pumps. TND Drilling have the knowledge and flexibility to complete your project from the initial enquiry through to final installation and commissioning of the well or ground source heat pumps (GSHP). In our ever changing environment we have an increasing list of diverse requests for our drilling rigs, including soakaways, solar ground mount installations, earthing rod installations, ground anchors and piling.
We offer many drilling based services including geothermal and water boreholes, earthing, lightening protection work, piling, site investigation, borehole inspection camera work, moleing and pile integrity testing for both commercial and residential or domestic projects. We use the most technologically advanced drilling techniques in order to increase the efficiency and the accuracy of the work. We employ professional, skilled, solution minded individuals who offer a level of service beyond our clients expectations.
The drilling of boreholes for geothermal energy is the most difficult part of the ground source heat pump installation. The geology of Great Britain is as diverse and complex as anywhere in the world so it is essential that the correct drilling method is used in the appropriate geological and site conditions. TND Drilling have the equipment, skills and experience to deliver this for you. TND Drilling provide dedicated services for the drilling and installation of geothermal holes, grouting the hole, header pipe work insulation using electro fusion joints and the thermal response test if required.
TND Drilling have our own bore hole camera that we use to inspect our own wells and contract out our services to other drilling companies. The Laval R-Cam 1000 downhole camera is a completely portable, self-contained video inspection system that can inspect boreholes up to 300 metres deep and 50cm in diameter. The R-Cam 1000 system combines all the features of a full, professional system with breakthrough affordability. Developed as a cost-effective system for the smaller operator, it delivers real-time inspection footage on-site.
Ground source heat pumps used for geothermal heating can be used efficiently to heat a house by drawing heat from the ground, condensing it and delivering it to the building. Systems use the heat pump and a compressor to remove heat from one side of the circuit and eject heat to the other side. A geothermal heat pump moves heat into or out of the earth using either water wells or a network of high-density polyethylene pipes buried in vertical boreholes. The pipes carry a water and antifreeze solution, which is pumped through the pipes buried in the ground.
