Did you know that every time you conduct a borehole survey, you are building upon thousands of years of technological advancement? Historical accounts of borehole drilling suggest that it is actually an ancient practice. In fact, archaeologists have uncovered evidence demonstrating that the first known water wells in existence came from Egypt in around 2,500 BC. It is suspected that the mechanisms they used were copper drill bits and a mixture of sand and water to cut through tough stones such as granite.

When it comes to borehole camera maintenance and taking surveys, people often fail to take into account the environment or regional climates. As we get into the summer months in the northern hemisphere, there are certain factors to be aware of when out in the field.

Laval Underground Surveys has been manufacturing camera vans for decades, so customers usually know what to expect and can anticipate a high-quality product. Nevertheless, sometimes it is helpful to get hands-on experience with the equipment to determine if this is the investment a contractor would like to make. For years, we have built up specific vans for marketing purposes, but each one has been purchased before we could show it off—until now.
