Water Industry

RIPE has forged a longstanding relationship with the industrial water and agricultural industry; in particular with the Department of Water (DOW) and its sub-contractors supplying standard water bore construction consumables such as float shoes, sealing packers, blind packers and sumps. We also have available for purchase or hire, a range of equipment systems to assist with the construction of water bores/wells. These systems include the conventionally used J-Latch method or our superior inflatable grab packer equipment that can also be used for install and retrieval operations. To cement the casing in and construct a robust water bore we offer grouting packer systems and float shoes. For the repair of damaged or corroded water bores we have a choice of casing patch systems. RIPE can provide the essential products and equipment required at all stages of a water bores life from initial concept, construction and even remediation and repairs. If you want the best advice, equipment and consumables to ensure smooth installation, that budgets are met with cost effective solutions and that the water bore operates successfully into the future, please don’t hesitate, give us a call!
