  • Vertical Downhole Inspection Camera The dipper-See EXAMINER vertical downhole inspection camera is a cost-effective way for people performing well inspections, maintenance, and installation to do their jobs quickly and accurately. The dipper-See EXAMINER comes with everything a well inspector, well driller, or hydrogeologist needs to do more work in less time. The Heron dipper-See EXAMINER is a robust and cost effective vertical downhole inspection camera. Designed with portability in mind, this self-contained unit is ideal for viewing in wells, drains, vertical shafts, open bodies of water, boreholes and narrow tubes over 25mm (1”) in diameter.* The dipper-See EXAMINER and the included accessories are easily transported in the provided super tough wheeled carry case and accessory case, ideal for protecting your investment from the elements. The adjustable positioning arm, conveniently attached to the frame, offers an ergonomic solution for adjusting the monitor for viewing the High Definition (HD) display screen at different angles and varied lighting conditions. The monitor conveniently houses all of the controls on the front of the panel.  Record the video/audio on the SD card provided with the DVR, for easy transfer of video to another device. Please note that the monitor is rated IP65 and should be covered during wet or inclement weather and protected against direct exposure to water projection (spraying). The HD, detachable See-120 camera probe is designed to work in the harshest environments and stand up to the most rigorous use. The camera probe can be easily removed at the link connection for field replacement and for future camera upgrades. The built-in hanger on the frame can support the unit at the top of the well, allowing for hands-free viewing while in the field. Available in 150m or 500ft tape lengths only* Download Brochure 
  • Filter sock can be used to protect groundwater wells from infiltration of fine silt and sediment. Made from polyester and with a 340 micron pore size. Available to suit 50mm, or 100mm to 150mm monitoring well screen. Simply sleeve the filter sock over the pvc screen before installation.  
  • The Flexipoint is pointed bottom end cap made from recycled plastic. It is long enough to be installed on either the male or female threaded end of the 50mm slotted PVC screen, without a need to cut off the female thread.
  • Corrosion Protection for Standpipe Covers: Certain site requirements or tender specifications require galvonised steel. The standpipe also has a unique non-binding swivel hinge for long life,  which is protected from rain. Traditional looking standpipe covers have hinges which are exposed to the elements and therefore prone to corrosion and eventually seizing up or dropping off. Our unique design has addressed this weakness. The 100mm square galvanised steel standpipe covers have a unique non-binding 'hidden hinge' design which provides a rain proof cover. These low-cost covers have a galvanised / silver finish for corrosion protection.
  • Trim your casing below ground level safely and easily These new internal pipe cutters have an ingenious design to ensure a safe, easy, and clean cut without any PVC shavings falling into your monitoring well. The IPC50 and IPC100 are an ingenious design of internal pipe cutter. It uses a replaceable cutting wheel blade to give a clean cut without any shavings. As you tighten the handle and rotate, the cutting wheel pushes against the inside of the casing and cutting cleanly through. The replaceable cutting wheel pushes against the casing from the inside out, and is tightened with each rotation to give a clean and precise cut. Available in sizes to suit 50mm and 100mm casing.
  • King Stuff is an all-weather product hydrocarbon free grease designed for monitoring well installs, and other environmentally sensitive drilling applications requiring a petroleum hydrocarbon-free product. King Stuff has a temperature range of -40°C to 260°C with a flash point of 226.7°C.

  • Drilling standards for environmental applications often require that wells are drilled without the introduction of fluids. To achieve this goal hollow augers can be utilised in unstable formations where solid stem augers are not effective. 3 sizes of timber plugs are now available for your hollow stem auger installations. Made from recycled timber for sustainability.

  • A Class E Rated Cover for Heavy Duty Applications The Nondo CE180 monitoring well cover is an all cast iron, 'Class E' rated well cover, designed for extra heavy duty applications. It is ideal for 50mm monitoring wells and has been tested to exceed load bearing requirements for traffic suitability for Australian Standard AS3996 Class D & Class E. The small 180mm OD makes it ideal for drillers who typically use a 200mm concrete corer. The CE180 has two new concepts for groundwater monitoring well covers:
    • A special shaped skirt to allow a wider concrete support lip and with a larger opening than comparable covers of similar diameter (116mm opening)
    • Bottom sealed bolt holes with removable grub screws for easy bolt hole cleaning if necessary. This ensures ultimate sealing from surface water ingress
