Boreholes & Earth Dams

Drilling is done after hydro-geological survey. Solfin Engineering has a variety of drilling machinery for both boreholes and water wells. In addition we have the expertise in handling drilling equipment and we ensure water is struck before we leave the site.

Our DTH machines can go to a maximum depth of 500m.

Actual drilling Process

Process

Drilling is started 11″ on the loose top soil formation and a 9″ temporary casing installed, then drilling 8″ up to recommended depth

Next...

  • Casings:- installation of 6″ casing pipe (Steel) up to the bottom generally a ratio of plain casings and screened casings is normally about 7:3 but depends on the hole drilled
  • Gravel Pack:- 2-4 mm natural gravel is inserted in between the soil and the casings to fill the space
  • Well Head Slab:- on the top 1X1X1 Metres digging pit and then making slab by using cement, sand and gravel this one ensures the hole is free from contamination sometimes a manhole with a metal cover can be used
  • Capping:- fitting a cap at the top after casing installation
  • Test Pumbing:- this one is donne for 24 hrs to measure the exact yield of the borehole and also the recharge potential
  • Water Chemical & bacterical analysis:- this is very important to ascertain the quality of water for both irigation and domestic use and whether is suitable for use and gives recommendations for treatment
  • Completion Report:- preparing completion report (Form 009A) as per WARMA rules and submit to the WARMA office and a copy to the client
