We offer a full range of services Australia wide to our clients to help them meet their environmental and reporting requirements to the relevant government departments.

  • Dry hire of equipment - Supply of all pumping equipment required to complete your sampling.

Why choose Airwell?

  • Mine site approved and equipped 4WD vehicles.
  • Choice of Airwell sampling systems that meet your requirements.
  • Trained and experienced staff.
  • Subject to availability, can be mobilised almost immediately to any location locally or nationally.
  • Can be wet or dry hired with comprehensive training provided.
  • Up to 15-20 bores sampled in a day depending on bore depth, yield and distance between bores.
  • Low risk of contamination with coaxial discharge, airline and cable system.
  • No minimum flow rate in low flow applications.
  • High grit tolerance with no parts likely to be damaged by high grit bores.
  • 1¾” (45mm) dia x 1m or 2m long sampling pump goes down 50mm casing diameter.
  • 3½” (89mm) dia x 1m or 2m long sampling pump for larger casing diameter and higher flow rates.
  • All pumps are interchangeable on our standard hose reel system.
  • Silenced air compressor and hydraulic pack.
  • Reduced OH&S issues with no manual handling required to raise or lower pumps.
  • Electrical safety with system requiring no high voltages and no trade licences to operate or maintain.

Notes:

  • Our complete sampling service requires no capital expenditure to purchase equipment, no ongoing repairs and maintenance to sampling equipment, reduced human resources to complete your sampling responsibilities and provides a timely service to meet your reporting deadlines.
  • The power pack is a self-contained three cylinder diesel stationary motor with a K30 series air compressor and hydraulic motor. The air compressor provides the pumping energy source to the Airwell pump and the hydraulic motor powers the hose reel to raise and lower the pump.
  • The hose & reel is connected to the compressed air and hydraulics. A manual lever located on it's side, controls the lowering or lifting of the sampling pump into the bore casing.
  • R7 1” ID hose is used to carry the water, airline and signal cable between the pump and hose reel. It eliminates the possibilities of contamination being trapped within multiple hose bundles bound together with duct tape or cable ties.
  • Hose lengths are made to requirements from 30 metres to 110 metres in length.
  • Airwell have a range of pumps and sizes to suite your requirements, starting from 1¾” dia (for 50mm casing I/D).
  • Disinfecting the pump and internals of the hose between bores is done by simply placing the pump in a container with a Decon 90 solution or similar.
