Never heard of a concrete plank
I guess it's a Thai thing. I would have said beam but hey what would I know

Another point is that you are just at the end of the rainy season and 18 meters is very shallow to have got down to an all-round-year aquifer. You could easily be down to a seasonal level, only time will tell. But good luck with it.alanhass wrote:Forgot to mention that the well is now dug and we hit lovely clear water at 18 meters.

It isn't a specially Thai thing, they have been used in the USA and U.K. for the last 60+years Also the shape makes them planks. To be beams they would need to be a vertically oriented rectanglealanhass wrote:Never heard of a concrete plankJR wrote:Thank you Bob. That is how it is.

Our well was drilled 18 years ago. The driller punched through rock a few meters down and hit water........the same water that runs out from beneath a rock 30 or so meters away. I've measured the level of the water several times over the course of the years.....dry season, wet season....the level doesn't change. If you hit good water, consider it a blessing and leave a treat for the spirits that look over your land (or not). I've known lots of folks who have had bum wells, no matter how deep they go.sometimewoodworker wrote:Another point is that you are just at the end of the rainy season and 18 meters is very shallow to have got down to an all-round-year aquifer.

Some information of one kind is at https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollow-core_slabalanhass wrote: I am neither American nor English and have never heard of them. I asked a few builders I know and they have never heard of them
either but who cares as long as they do the job
Being concrete we would call it a slab
