WATER SUPPLY - BOREHOLE DRILLING - PROSPECTING

The Consallen Group specialises in long term sustainable water supply using high quality equipment, materials and methods. Our borehole drilling rigs can be used for environmental & water well drilling, ground source heating, prospecting and site investigations.

Although developed for African village water supply, our hand pumps are also suitable for stand-by water supply and community (allotment) garden applications, in addition to remote animal watering (pony fields). They may be locked to prevent unauthorised use and vandalism.

CABLE TOOL PERCUSSION BOREHOLE DRILLING

The picture shows a Forager-55 trailer-tripod cable percussion rig drilling a water borehole in UK. 6-inch waterwell temporary casing was being installed in 1.5m lengths to 19.5m for a private water supply. See more details under the 'Cable Tool' link above, including a short video.

Everything required for drilling is shown in the picture. No mud pumps, mud pits, pipes, valves, mud chemicals or compressors are required for this simple and economic drilling method, which will drill in any material, hard or soft.

This borehole drilling machine for contractors, is also used by NGOs as a means of siting successful hand dug wells. A Forager-55 can quickly discover water, the depth, quality, quantity and confirm the absence of boulders, thus eliminating failure in hand digging, reducing costs, and encouraging community participation.

AFRICAN RURAL WATER ESSAYS

Why cable percussion drilling? or perhaps, why so in an African rural water context.
One well is no use - it will be over-used and will probably not meet the demand.
Where shall we dig and how deep - too deep can be worse than too shallow.
