Farm and Estate water systems
Borehole drilling and private water systems.
Agricultural Water Engineers are members of The Well Drillers Association and specialists in private water supplies from boreholes and wells for farm water, potable water for estate houses, dairies and irrigation systems. We install new boreholes complete with all the pumps, pressure sets, storage tanks, water treatment and filtration systems required.
Agricultural Water Engineers will undertake a full geological survey, for the construction and installation of a borehole. Our hydrogeologist will write a report and come to site and identify the best position for the borehole. We will notify the BGS and the Environment agency to register your borehole.
Using our drilling rigs which are ideal for Farm water and Large farm systems, enabling us to drill boreholes down to 300 meters and installing from 168mm up to 350mm steel and PVC screen and casing. We operate a fleet of cable precision drilling rigs including a Dando 175, Dando 800 and a Bucyrus Erie 22 RW water well drilling rigs.
The water act of 2003 states that a private user may extract up to 20 cubic meters or 20,000 litres, 4400 gallons of water per day of ground water without any licence required and no charge or fee. We will work and advise you fully through the application process for an abstraction licence.

Matt Barrett and Agricultural Water Engineers have carried out substantial upgrading works to our private water supply over the past two years. The level of service we have received has been exemplary. Work was carried out on time and on budget with all desired results achieved. Matt continues to maintain our equipment and are on call for sudden emergencies, one such emergency happened when our water main was cut by our farm digger causing a loss of water to a number of houses, office units and livestock supplies. Matt and his team were on site within 2 hours and water resumed within 4.
Anyone looking to undertake similar work should look no further than Matt and his team. Charlie Lane Fox, Bignell Park Farm.
