Water Well Drilling |

We are proud to
announce that we have recently upgraded our drilling fleet with a 2007
Mayhew HD-44.

|
|
 
 
|
|
We have drilled hundreds of domestic, municipal, and
irrigation water wells in the North Texas
area and are still going strong. All of the materials we use meet or surpass
the requirements set by the State of Texas.

Our drilling rigs require a working radius of 70-75 feet from
the location of the well head. Once the rig is in place we will need clear
access to at least three sides. We will also need an area large
enough to dig a 6' x 20' circulation pit.

The Completed Well
On a domestic water well we will drill an 8 1/2" hole
to a depth we will estimate based upon your location and your water
needs. Once the test hole has been drilled and it is decided to
complete the well we will then set either new steel casing or new SDR 17
PVC casing depending on depth. In the zone of water bearing formation
sand and on the bottom of the casing we will set either pipe based heavy
duty stainless steel screen or slotted PVC screen pipe. Both the
steel and PVC screen have slots which
are designed to allow maximum water to pass without allowing any sand
inside the casing. Once the casing and screened pipe are in place we
will then gravel pack with selected frac sand up
through the water sand formation. Cementing pipe will then be ran
into the well and the annular void between the casing and bored hole will
then be pressure cemented from the top of the gravel pack to ground
level. Your new water well will then be thoroughly washed and
developed to promote maximum capacity.

The Pump & Motor
Once the well
is completed we will furnish and install a deep well submersible
pump. The submersible pumps we have available are designed to give
almost any demand required depending on the capacity of the well. The
pump selected will range from a ½ horse power to a
5 horse power, depending on your water needs and the depth of the static
level. The pumps we install operate on 230 volt, single phase
electricity. Pump will be set to a sufficient depth below the water
static level on column pipe with heavy duty couplings to resist
corrosion. The submersible pump cable installed is matched to the
demand of the pump and is double jacketed for safety. Included will
be 10' of electrical and service tie in allowance. We will also
furnish well head plumbing, pump control box and overload protector for
protection of the motor. Given the efficiency of the pump and motor
installed and based on your electricity service rate, your operating costs
will be between 16-25 cents per 1000 gallons pumped.
