Loop Feeder

Nicholls Boreholes have designed and developed a hydraulic loop feeder (patent number 1108318.5) to assist us with the safe and controlled installation of 40mm borehole probes.  With the following benefits over traditional hand pushing installation techniques. 

• Allows the safe installation without staff standing on the drilling rig or other platforms on site (working at height).
• Saves labour by reducing the need for additional staff at the time of loop installation.
• Allows additional controlled pressure to be applied to probes when inserting into boreholes with a drilling fluid.
• Its variable speed allows controlled insertion of probes where the weight of the probe wants to fall into an open borehole reducing probe tip damage.
• Can assist with the removal of a probe where the borehole collapsed at depth and the borehole will require re-drilling.  This protects the operative from strain.
• Can also install and remove grout lines when using a liquid grout to backfill boreholes.
• Compatible with most geothermal drilling rigs.
• Designed for drillers by drillers.
• Saves money.
• Fully adjustable.
• Hard wearing.
• More efficient than traditional hand pushing installation technique.
