Description
RockForce PVC Borehole Casings and Screens are engineered specifically for borehole construction, groundwater extraction and water-management applications. Unlike conventional PVC water pipes, which are primarily designed to withstand internal pressure, RockForce borehole casings are designed to provide enhanced resistance to external ground pressure, helping to support and stabilise drilled holes.
Manufactured from selected PVC compounds, the range offers excellent mechanical strength while remaining completely non-corrosive. This makes RockForce PVC casings and screens a durable, cost-effective solution for demanding borehole environments.
RockForce works with drilling contractors, consulting engineers, mines, municipalities and other industry professionals to provide casing solutions suited to specific project requirements.
Applications
Suitable for water wells, mine dewatering, seawater abstraction, geotechnical drilling and groundwater monitoring.
