Flexible Solutions for Groundwater Extraction

Our Wellman has been designed to be a permanent solution replacing rigid steel, PVC, or fiberglass piping when extracting groundwater from wells. Used with an electric submersible pump, the lay-flat hoses provide a safe, high-performing, and cost-efficient solution to your next project.

These flexible risers provide for rapid installation and retrieval of the submersible pump. Both Wellman 300 and Boreman 300 come in a single length, specific to the required pump settings. This allows for flexible installations by hand, crane, or vehicle. The umbilical is attached through loops on the band along the hose.

Unlike more traditional methods, our hoses will have zero corrosion and no build-up of scale. Our high-quality materials are resistant to hydrocarbon fuels, several chemicals, ozone, UV, and microbial attacks.

A Smarter Way to Extract Groundwater

Wellman has several benefits differentiating it from conventional alternatives. These are some of them:

Cost-Efficient
Great Adhesion and Tensile Strength
Drinking Water Approved
Long Lifetime and Low Maintenance
Easy to Deploy and Store
Less Impact on the Environment
High Working Pressure
High Quality Materials

In groundwater extraction the hoses are used as the rising main. Depending on the length and pressure, Wellman 300 and Boreman 300 can provide optimal solutions for your next project.

Boreman 300

Boreman 300 flexible rising main is designed as a permanent alternative to traditional materials such as steel, fiberglass, UPVC and polyethylene in water wells with electric submersible pumps. Based on our Wellman riser, which has been in international markets for over 30 years and operating in numerous industrial locations, Boreman 300 has been developed specifically for the mining and desalination industries. The performance of Boreman 300 is identical to Wellman 300 but without the potable water approvals and is designed for specific applications. Boreman 300 can be delivered in lengths up to 300m.

Wellman 300

Wellman 300 is manufactured using ’through-the-weave’ technology, where the high-grade HDPE lining and cover are formed in a single process to provide a tough one-piece composite riser. Continuous circular weaving of synthetic yarns forms a lightweight, high-strength, seamless reinforcement, the design of which gives Wellman its tensile strength. Wellman 300 holds several international drinking water certifications, including NSF61, WRAS, KTW-DVGW, AS-NZS 4020 and PZH. Wellman 300 can be delivered in lengths up to 300m.
