About Us

Test Pumping

DSC has been test pumping boreholes across the UK for over 50 years.

We can test at flows from 0.5 litres per second to over 300 litres per second. All of our pumping equipment, flow meters, transducers and pipework is owned in house.

DSC has completed many complex long term tests including well fields with over 10 operational boreholes in one testing regime.

We have cloud based systems in place to upload large quantities of testing data in real time, to allow off site client access in real time, throughout the testing process.

Our Process

Test Pumping Process

We carry out controlled test pumping to assess borehole performance, water yield, and long-term sustainability, providing accurate data to support system design and project decisions.

01

Setup & Equipment Installation

We install pumps, monitoring equipment, and flow measurement systems to prepare the borehole for accurate testing.

02

Controlled Pumping Test

Water is extracted at a consistent rate over a set period to measure yield, drawdown, and overall borehole performance.

03

Monitoring & Data Collection

We continuously record water levels, recovery rates, and flow data to build a complete performance profile.

04

Analysis & Reporting

All data is analysed and presented in a detailed report, giving clear insights into borehole capacity and suitability for your project.
