Borehole Water Project Nepal - Laval R-CAM 1000 XLT Case Study

The Beacon Project, a collaboration between Anglian Water, its Alliance (capital delivery) partners and WaterAid, is working to improve water supplies, sanitation and waste water management in the Nepalese town of Lahan, where less than half of the 98,000 strong population has access to piped water.

The town only has one water treatment works and water is supplied from five boreholes via a network of pipes. Early on, the team discovered a problem with sand contamination.

Putting the focus on Laval cameras - Case Study

Darren Hughes runs D Hughes Well Drillers, specialising in drilling and installing boreholes throughout the UK, and he is also vice chairman of The Well Drillers Association.

He purchased a dual view Laval R-CAM 1000 XLT borehole camera from Geoquip Water Solutions in 2019 and says: “It wins us a lot of work we wouldn’t normally get, usually because something has gone wrong and we need to get down there and identify the problem.”
