Water supply

The increasing demand for installation and construction services initiates the successful development of many firms and companies engaged in, including drilling. Specialists who perform well drilling with a machine will, in the shortest possible time, provide you with a quality individual source of drinking or process water.

Preparation for arrangement of a well

However, you must first prepare for this.

Drafting project

  1. The future engineering system begins its life on paper. Designing water supply, heating and drainage systems will help to avoid many problems.
  2. First of all, when developing, all wishes of the customer are considered. Requirements that coincide with the possibilities, necessarily implemented.
  3. The features of the object's anchor site are thoroughly investigated. With well-considered nuances before work, drilling a well in one day is quite real.

Exploration work

Exploratory drilling.

For the future well, it is important to choose the optimal location. Therefore, exploratory drilling is being carried out for the well.

The source should be in a convenient place for use, as close as possible to the house. Experts are sure to explore the site, looking for the aquifer, by drilling, measuring the depth, as well as water quality.

Note! Installation of exploration wells with a depth of up to 15 meters is not additionally paid. The price of this service is included in the total cost for the construction of the well.

You can find out the approximate depth of the water by measuring the distance to it in the neighboring areas. This will give a fairly accurate idea of ​​what method, as well as using what you can get to the water carrier.

Test drilling

To achieve a more complete picture of the location of underground reservoirs, it is advisable to drill small diameter. According to the results of such work, it is possible to identify and circumvent the likely difficulties in the future.

In the end, you will receive the following information.

  1. The presence of stones, their approximate number.
  2. The absence or presence of quicksands in wells during drilling.
  3. The depth of the future well mine.
  4. Approximate rate of filling with water.
  5. Estimated financial costs.

Note! Any instructions for drilling well work prohibits the use of technology at a depth of more than 12 meters. Upon reaching this level, the mechanized devices do not apply, but connect a manual digging.

If there is a question about hired labor, it should be noted that the rates for manual labor are much higher. The installation of a well on soils with the presence of stones will also cost more. For the passage of complex stony rocks will have to use a variety of pumps for wells, chippers with compressors, generators and other equipment.

Digging with the involvement of mechanization

If you decide to facilitate the task of water supply, it is worthwhile to consider in more detail when mechanized drilling under a well is possible.

  1. If the results of exploration showed the depth of the aquifer to 12 meters.
  2. The soil does not contain a large number of stony fractions.
  3. There are no clay or sandy quicksies.
  4. There are no obstacles to the entrance of technical devices.

Manual digging

On rocky soil you have to dig a well by hand.
  1. Soil studies have shown the impossibility of mechanized intervention.
  2. Water lies at a depth of more than 12 meters.
  3. There are no access roads for vehicles or the ability to organize them.
  4. The quicksands are present, but the customer assumes responsibility for possible problems during the work.
  5. The client for one reason or another prefers to do exclusively manual method.

Performance of work

After the location of the future source is determined, it is worthwhile to prepare the field of action with your own hands.

Territory preparation

  1. Clear the area at a sufficient distance.
  2. Arrange unhindered access route.
  3. If there are buildings, trees, shrubs or other plants in a radius of 3 to 5 meters, you should cover them with plastic wrap to protect them from splashes and dust.
  4. It is worth waiting for as dry weather as possible. Precipitation and dirt will impede the process.

Device Installation and Drilling Process

The drill is the main installation tool.

The main operating mechanism can be called a special auger, designed to reach the aquifer in a short period of time.

It consists of the following elements.

  1. Steel drill rod, 3-5 cm thick, with a square profile shape.
  2. Drilling tool with a tapered thread, made of high strength steel. Fastened by screwing onto the sleeve in the core for drilling.
  3. Swivel - tip provided with a hole and a ring. It is placed on top of the drill rod and manipulated by the drill. The hole is necessary to rotate the drill with a scrap or thick pipe.
Drilling mine.

Drilling work is quite simple, especially if they are performed by professionals.

  1. Mounted decking of boards, then the drill from the tower or from the ground, with the help of a clamp or key begins to rotate.
  2. To prevent the well shaft from clogging up under mechanical action, the drill is inserted into a special pipe. As the casing deepens, the casing is expanded in subsequent sections.
  3. It should look for a strictly vertical arrangement of the device. To do this, a thick plank with a hole is placed on the ground plane above the well, the diameter of which must coincide with the diameter of the casing. A tripod is placed above the board with a block attached to it. On a tripod, at some distance from the level of the soil, mount the flooring, which is inserted from the next casing.
  4. For sandy soils, chinks for wells and spoons are suitable as tools.
Installation of the walls of the mine.
  1. Increased gravel or pebble content will require the use of a bit and chisel.
  2. On hard and stony soils, drilling in a percussive manner is effective; the rope method is applicable for deep wells.

Conclusion

Whether you are building or have your own house, think about the uninterrupted supply of water. The best option would be an individual well, which you can do yourself, or with the help of specialists, is not difficult.
