Water well drilling rig - what it is

Water is the most important source of life for all organisms on earth, and without it one cannot live through man, or animal, nor bug, or plant. For the supply of water to each consumer unit, from the huge industrial enterprises to the individual tap in the apartment, whole water supply systems and, accordingly, wastewater disposal systems have been created.

We, especially city dwellers, have not thought for a long time about where the water in our dwellings is taken from - opened the tap and it poured. But the owners of country and country houses built far from the central water supply have to independently solve the issues of water supply of the site.

Drilling of the wells

The organization of autonomous water supply can be done in two ways:

• Digging a well.
• Well drilling.

The wells are quite familiar constructions that have been used by mankind many centuries before us. The well is, in principle, the same well, only of smaller diameter. Water from the well to the surface is supplied using a pump immersed in it, and, to be objective, this method of delivering revitalizing moisture is much more practical and more economical..

Drilling cost

Professional drilling is carried out by specialized construction or geological exploration organizations. The price of such services is very high, since the process uses heavy drilling rigs for drilling water wells. Therefore, zealous owners, in an attempt to save money, try to find an opportunity to do everything with their own hands. Many ways and equipment invented by home craftsmen.

The production of drilling equipment does not stand still. Today, the drilling rig for water wells is represented by manufacturers in a wide range, both in terms of engineering capabilities and cost parameters.

It should be understood that acquiring such equipment is not necessary, since, having made one or two wells, you will put it in a corner to gather dust for many years. That is why it is more democratic to rent a tool, paying only for the time you need to drill a well.

If the installation cost still does not suit you, take a closer look at the hand-held drills, which, although not so practical, are much more accessible.

Mini drilling rigs

As a rule, the developers of small-sized drilling machines are those who are directly involved in drilling and know all the “pitfalls” of the process. These people fully understand all the problems that a drilling rig can deliver to the water in a small-sized version, and are able to solve them.

As a result, when buying, you get a vehicle with a number of advantages:

• Despite the small size of the stability of the structure.
• The equipment is equipped with a chassis for easy transportation, so that the drilling of water wells with mini installations can be performed anywhere in the area without damaging the latter.

• The movable frame of the gearbox is equipped with a new roller mounting system, which significantly reduces vibration and prolongs the service life of the mechanism.

Note! The biggest problem of small drilling rigs is a strong vibration and, as a result, “jumping” of equipment, which in a manner reduces the productivity of the mechanism, increasing the time spent on drilling.

• A drilling rig fixing system has been developed using a small auger, which reliably attracts the rig to the ground.
• The issue of separation of streams is resolved on a new technique - separate supply of drilling mud and removal of leached sludge. This quality is especially important during deep drilling.

• Mini drilling machines are equipped with a special table with a hole for the drill. This makes the drilling process much cleaner, with no dirty splashes scattering randomly in all directions.

• Many models of small-sized drilling rigs are equipped with an internal combustion engine, which is undoubtedly much more efficient than a standard electric drive.

Interesting! With the help of mini drilling rigs, you can perform both core and rotary drilling. Developers and manufacturers of small-sized drilling equipment took care of this.

• Drill pipes with boring locks, with a conic thread, the shaft and flanges of the swivel are made from constructional alloyed steel 40XH. Manufacturing is done on CNC machines.
• Supply of lubricant to the mechanism is performed without dismantling and disassembling the drilling installation.
• Detailed instructions for operating a mini drill machine will teach even a beginner to easily handle this technique.

Among the many proposed models of small-sized drilling equipment, it is very easy to choose the option that you need with a suitable set of technical characteristics:

• Depth of drilling.
• Type of drilling.
• Power.
• Rotational speed.
• Seasonal use.
• The opportunity to work in certain soils, etc.

Note! Water from the well is subject to mandatory testing for the possibility of use for drinking and cooking.

The seller is obliged to provide all the necessary data in full, without hiding the defects of the selected model. If you are assured that a drilling rig has no disadvantages, and even the cost of it is reduced, do not believe it.

Conclusion

Having an idea of ​​what a drilling rig is for a well, you can have a different approach to the issue of water supply to your land plot. Once again you will think about whether to entrust this work to hired workers, or to save money, and carry out all the procedures yourself, having spent several days on this.
