A variety of borehole drilling methods are used to assess the geophysical property of the underlying area for the drilling of boreholes in private and public sectors. The type of ground and geology of the site will determine depth of the borehole, because ground water flows differently at different locations. The purpose for drilling the borehole will also affect the water quality needed and processes used to sink the borehole successfully.
There are various diameters of drilling bits used in surface drilling based on the purpose of borewell. High power rigs are equipped with a facility to drill borewells up to 1200 feet. For Domestic/residential purposes borewells with diameters 4.75,6, 6.5 inch are commonly used and for agriculture purpose 6.5 inch to 12 inch borewells are used where as for Industrial purpose it is ideal to have borewells with 6.5,8,10,12 inchs depending on the usage of water.
Sedimentary areas may be filled with sand, gravel, clay, mud bed etc, during such soil we use Tubewell/Calyx method of drilling. Manual Tubewell/handbore drilling is a tedious process when we compare with high power hydraulic rigs.
During the tubewell/calyx process graded sand/gravel packing may be placed from the top of the borehole. More compact, pre-bonded, packs of sand and/or gravel are available commercially; sand and/or gravel packing is meant to eliminate particles from the water which they would otherwise have passed through. We always use high graded pebbles which customer can check and verify the quality before packing/placing it into the bore holes.
Rotary drilling is used to form a deep borehole. The drilling method involves a oil powered rotary cutting head on the end of a shaft, driven into the ground as it rotates. The system requires lubrication (air, water or drilling mud) to keep the cutting head cool. This system is particularly suitable for weak soil/sandy areas, as any vibration from the drilling action is minimised due to close-fitting rods used within the hole which will avoid a severe bore crash or soil slit.
Our specialized hand borewell drilling service, offer a reliable and cost-effective solution for accessing groundwater, especially in remote or hard-to-reach areas. This method significantly reduces costs compared to mechanized drilling and is ideal for regions with limited access where heavy machinery cannot be transported.
Additionally, it has a lower environmental impact due to the absence of heavy machinery and minimal disturbance to the surrounding area. Our skilled team uses lightweight, portable equipment to ensure high-quality results. From thorough site assessments and manual drilling to well development and final installation of necessary equipment, we provide a complete, customer-centric service committed to environmentally sustainable practices.
