need a bore

Post by Whistler » March 25, 2021, 9:20 pm

our farm is dry.

We have a one rai damn that is empty. Capacity is maybe 2,000.000 litres or more. I understand that there is stone around 20 to 30 metres deep, so need a driller that can cut though that, a good chance we have a spring underneath. Does anybody have a driller that can handle this? I want a driller and a solar pump from a single supplier and will be happy to pay to get a result and pay a fair price.

Suggestion for what is worth, find a guy to drill, a couple of guys to install the concrete rings at the top and do the rest yourself . Sorry I do not know of a driller or installer .

Tried KP, the only ones I have been able to find cannot handle stone. It will need a driller with a percussion capability

These companies appear to be up to the task

Out of curiosity, what are you basing your "good chance we have a spring underneath" belief on?

Yes agree with Parrots comments, do you have historical proof or other information that states clear ( non-salty ) water is beneath before you embark on a costly dill. Costly by that I mean to find weater on my property, not nearly as big as yours19 years ago cost me 15000, which included well head as it were and pump, which I ditched in a year as it was useless. Hence my remark of installing pumps yourself .
Now 19 years later , a drill even through stone will be expensive unless guarantees of finding clear water is certain .

Thanks guys. Our farm is about 2 kilometers from Huai Lon dam but no canals nearby. The place has been in my wifes fzmily for generations. A mate of mine was a driller in Oz he is also of the opinion that there is a good chance there is a spring under rock
. No guarantees of course

Another quick thought with the Water crisis frequently operating here, drilling that close to a Dam might anger the water authorities, make gentle enquires first, would not want to step on PWA toes

Thanks KP will think about this. I dont want to encourage them to say no, nor encourage a chance for dome official needing some TM
