spyder880:That was exactly my thought. The last time I saw this kind of borehole was in maiduguri and the soil there is relatively sandy so I was even surprised to see it being used in the s/east. |

The going gets tough as we hit a stone while drilling for water. They load sand bags on the drill for added weight and keep turning, with another drill bit of course.......

spyder880:Real hard manual drilling indeed, there is a better way of doing this. Pls tell those guys that are doing the drilling; to drill hard soil or rock surface. They need pressure not weight. What they need is to get a pumping machine that can at least push pressure of 300psi or more, 1 hose that will soak water from one end of the pumping machine and the other side will push pressure out to the other end; connect the hole pipe in the middle of the blade that drills. This way the pressure is the one blasting the soil surface and the little pressure applied from the operator to achieve the desire drilling. 1 Like |

kopell: Thank you Kopell, I understand the process you described above, but that will only work for hard soil, this is stone. Even at that the puming machine is on at high pressure even as the mount the extra sand bags as added weight, the water is still flushing out the sand from the hole on high pressure. We are using both water pressure and weight combined. |

nice2000: Where in lagos is the project. I just vex as I see the unit cost a substantial nos is more than threes times the actual cost. quantity is usually a guesstimate. Often times you end up buying more. Re labour that is what they charge in the estates more than double the going rate. I could link you up. |
