The well drilling process is an important step in the development of water wells, providing access to ground water for many purposes, such as irrigation, drinking water, or even industrial use. The well drilling process requires a few key stages, each contributing to the successful creation of a functional well.
Continue reading to see the steps typically involved in the process.
- The first part of the well drilling process involves selecting a site for the new well that has the potential for an adequate, sustainable groundwater supply. Our team at Yadkin Well Company will conduct hydrogeological surveys and geophysical studies to identify suitable locations for the new well that have the potential for an adequate, sustainable groundwater supply.
- Next, based on the site analysis we conduct, our team will design the well. We will consider factors like the depth, diameter, casting materials, and screen specifications. The design of the well should optimize water yield while ensuring the well remains structurally sound.
- After we confirm a new site for the well, we will bring our well drilling equipment to the location. This will include our drilling rig, casing pipes, and any other necessary tools. We will position the drilling rig over the selected site and implement the necessary safety measures.
- After we are all set up with our drilling rig, we can begin the well drilling process. We will penetrate the earth’s subsurface during the process until the desired depth is reached. We will also line the borehole with casing to prevent collapse and to prevent well contamination.
