Set Up -
Preparing Your Site For Drilling
This is a typical
Recirculating Pit System, or Mud Pit, as it is commonly called.
These pit dimensions are reccommended to allow for maximum settling
of the excess mud and cuttings being flushed out of the borehole,
and allows for the cleaner flush water to be recirculated through
the drill stem. The suction screen should be supported off the
bottom of the overflow pit. The excess mud, gravel, and sand should
be removed from the mud pit periodically for a better recirculating
process. |

This is a typical Mud Pit
ready for filling with water. |
 |
Filling the entire pit with
fresh water. |
 |
Now, you're ready to start
drilling. Add water to the pit as your borehole gets deeper. |
 |
While drilling, as the borehole gets
deeper, moniter for water temperature, checking the cuttings
flushed out of the borehole for coarse sand, small pea gravel, and
watching the level of the water in the borehole for indications of
a water bearing stratum. |
 |
After reaching water, remove
the drill stem and drill bit from the borehole. |
 |
This borehole was drilled to
168 feet deep reaching a good water bearing stratum. Now, it is
ready for installing the casing and pump. |
 |
We also have bits available for drilling through rock. |
