With the objective of providing drinking water service to the inhabitants of the municipality of Caracollo, department of Oruro.
The actual drilling depth was determined based on the lithological samples extracted every meter.
We use for the machinery, three drilling rig, truck crane, and the use of nine E-40 Dint 6 (inch) PVC pipes will be used, packed with selected gravel for the prefilter, the well will be compressed with diesel bentonite, caps. of PVC Dint-6 (inch), various filters and others.
Bore wells can serve as a low-cost water supply for homes, small rural communities, and for urban areas. The principle of operation is quite simple: a hole is drilled in a body of groundwater and then the infiltrated water is extracted with the help of a pump powered by human or mechanized power. Construction is rapid and several simple drilling techniques are available for most geological conditions.
Advantages:
- Faster and cheaper to drill than hand-dug wells
- Less susceptible to contamination
- No water removal required during drilling
- Less lining material required (compared to hand-dug wells)
- Safer in construction and use (compared to hand-dug wells)
- The well itself hardly requires maintenance
- There are many simple drilling techniques available that satisfy most geological conditions.
