CCTV Borehole Inspections

 For years drillers, borehole owners, miners and the like have dreamt about down hole conditions and problems with holes. They have wondered and surmised why bores are producing sand and silt and wasted time working blind fishing pumps and other equipment.

In the meantime, AGE Developments has been developing and perfecting down-hole cameras for several years, and has a variety of units strategically positioned throughout Australia to service any industry. Our current fleet consists of seven mobile units and 14 hand held units, some of which are rated intrinsically safe for use in zone 0 areas.

With a capability to inspect holes to depths of 2,000 metres and diameters ranging from 9 mm up to 4 metres, knowledge is only a phone call away. Many of our cameras have the capability to tilt through 180º and rotate through 360º whilst focusing at any range. With digital CCD’s, fibre optic cables and DVD technology, AGE can inspect and record digital videos at previously unreachable depths and conditions without transmission and recording losses.

Part of AGE’s inspection service is to provide detailed custom design solutions to solve any down-hole problem. Combining this inspection and design ability with our unique Inflatable Packer technology, AGE is strategically positioned to provide a complete service. From inspection through design, remedial installation and commissioning, AGE is capable of managing the project from start to finish.

In open-hole applications, video inspection enables examination of stratification, faults, fractures, joints, fissures and drilling wash-outs as well as areas of high water production. In cased hole situations, areas of sand infiltration, screen encrustation and clogging and casing breaks, holes, etc, are readily identified. AGE Developments’ video logging system offers all these potential benefits together with AGE's well known enthusiasm, attention to detail, service and 100% support for each and every job.

Anybody can put a camera down a hole - however, AGE’s experienced technicians, state of the art technology and vast experience with clarifying silty/murky water and conditions alike means that a clearer picture is exactly what you get.
