Crawler Water Well Geothermal Drilling Rig in South Africa

In a project in South Africa, the FY680 crawler water well geothermal drilling rig was used, equipped with an Atlas 1150 air compressor and an 8-inch impactor, using a 203mm bit to drill to a depth of 385 meters. The entire process of drilling, casing, and installing the deep well pump was completed within 3 days, with a daily water yield of 60-90 tons.

Water Source Well Engineering Construction Plan: This plan includes construction preparation, process procedures, and technical requirements. For example, the well location should be determined through surveying instruments during positioning, and the hole should be drilled strictly according to the designed well location. The diameter of the hole varies with the depth, for example, it is 273mm for depths above 100 meters and 219mm for depths below 100 meters. The process procedures include positioning, hole drilling, hole cleaning, casing, gravel filling, well washing, pump installation, and water pumping.

Installation Steps of Water Well Drilling Rig: First, it should be determined that the installation of the water well drilling rig should be carried out by skilled operators and supervised by a designated person. Before installing the water well drilling rig, a survey of the topography, geology, hydrology, meteorology, and flood levels should be conducted. Install the drill tower base, tower body, and ground anchors on a flat site. Level a solid area next to the predetermined hole, with an area not less than 53.3 square meters.
