I don't even know what to write about for days now.

Drilling per meter has gone up from 9,000 to 10,000 in space of two weeks. Now there's a new price in town, currently drilling is @11000 per meter.

We just concluded all our outstanding projects.

Casing has gone up from 16,000 to 22,000 just under 3weeks. And our brothers are not even selling bulk, maximum they will sell to you 2 dozens that cannot execute a week drill. cry

Dollar exchange rate has done more harm than Good. Due to the expansion in business, we have now been able to add another arsenal; PDTHR-300 to amour collections, we received the machine this morning and it would be undergoing the necessary branding and configurations to get it prepared for the tasks ahead. We have a total of 4 drill rigs, working across the federation.
We're attending to the backlogs, and we would be concluding all old contracts by Sunday.

Good evening house.

We have been busy clearing out backlogs of clients with down payments, I will update on the pictures and results, also the challenges faced.

Subtle notification:

All old prices/quotations are now invalid.

Clients with down payments are exempted.l; kindly note that new prices would be communicated individually latest daybreak.

We just hustled for 10,000ltrs of diesel so as not to be on a total loss on down projects.
New prices on AGO would be implemented by daybreak across all retail stations tomorrow, brace up for additional increase in price across all commodities tomorrow. It's not getting any better as it stands now.

No sir, air compressed rig. The water channel you sighted in the image was made so as to channel path for the surface water to flow out so as to allow the casing stand firm with the packing before concealing. There was more than enough overburden water.

We are still at this site, and currently at a dept of 190m, it only gets more intense... However we continue our drill.

Facing difficulties in uploading live images at the moment. sad

It wasn't an easy task, but at the end we successfully completed the drill and halted at a dept of 275m... There is more than enough water to be shared around. And possible overflow in situation of minimal usage, we didn't hit an artisan well but the formations, had more than enough water fracture evidences from the drilling.

We have been contracted to handle the pump installation. And when shall be proceeding with a two channel pumps in the same hole grin
With multiple outlets.

It going to be an interesting one. Thanks for your patronage sir. And also to all our prospective clients, we appreciate your patronage.

Pictorial results.

Just as I mentioned in one of my earlier post, if you can please do a geophysical survey of your land before siting your building. Today's was at Montana Ibadan , ves point was found at the house main gate entrance, and it will lead to closure of the drainage around it.

We couldn't get the drill done, as there was no basement formation confirmation. Upto 40m(we could have switched to a contracted drill, but he mentioned that he wasn't comfortable with the ves positioning at first), we had to terminate and the client requested we find him a suitable position around his compound, we waited for the results to come out from manual plotting, and lucky for him we found a suitable spot in the building opposite his house, he has called the owner of the land to negotiate for the parcel of land, while at it, the police station which shared boundary with the said plot, appealed that they benefit from the water.
So by tomorrow we look forward to commencing the drill, in this case we would be going on an industrial drill. We will keep you posted.
Side note: Area boys cashed out on the client
They approached the drill rig on arrival. After they settled they made it know it was from the police station that they were tipped to come and tax us.
A serious reformation is needed in the entire force system.

Good morning house, we arrived at the site set for drilling.
PS: If you cannot afford to drill before starting your construction please ensure to carry out your geophysical survey, so you set out the location away from buildings and sceptic tank locations. Already existing structures give the geophysicist limit on areas to spread parameters.

This particular building survey I was given earlier, I insisted on carrying out another survey upon sighting the area; to be sure there's no errors. (This is because I surveyed the building and noticed that there was no space in the compound any more to accommodate the drill rig, hence why the first geophysicist sighted his ves point at the entrance of the house) I advised against the point but our client insist that we drill the vest point, same with his geophysicist. We have drilled as far as 140m;

* We have come to terminate the drill point as there's is no evidence of fracture that can lead to water as sighted by the geophysicist.
* We will be drilling a new point as we will have to commence another survey, and will drill immediately the results are out.
Location is Oyo town.
I am pained for the cost exhausted from this failed drill.
Now we departed the location.

I had to delete the summary page.


Good evening house.

We did to site inspection today also two drilling simultaneously today. And all turn out successful, 1 inspection and 1 successful drill were from this great section/ forum.

We will be doing what we know how to do best later this week, as we will be drilling in a site where their has been two abandoned drill due to lack of basement foundation within 40m of the drill. We will be carrying out the drill from another location of the building as discovered by our survey, but it will be abit tasking as evidence of basement fracture is at 60m. This Is supposed to be a rotary drill. But the client insisted on air compressed drill we will be expanding more overburdens and more casings; this drill case is now a contracted drill and not a dept drill calculated drill case, all things been equal we wouldn't hit a case down... Location is Apete Ibadan.

One has been successfully completed today, while the second would be executed all things been equal on Saturday. This would be my first contract here, and he choose to remain anonymous.

Have you experience drills ng around owode.....that owode egba to be precise...what is you take on it?

Good evening sir, yes sir, some selected areas of owode egba support air compressed drill. Based off my experience with the area, you have a 100% stable drill and 60-80% water yield. (Please note that this cover areas surrounding the community school till the police station, all the terrain from siun junction down to boundary of owode are sedimentary formations.

You are right. Each location in Abeokuta has to be addressed in a unique way.
Deep well would probably be the best option in ijeun Titun, which is near to laderin.
I was advised against drilling borehole in laderin. I went for deep well.
Obada alone has different terrain. I did deep well but failed. Had to do boreholes in two different locations.

Sorry about your experiences, with right directives you would have cut a whole lot of cost.
I hope your wells are serving you?

Afternooon -
Knowing Abeokuta, I'll say go for borehole dug by the heavy machine drillers..... deep well and shallow borehole might fail.

If its Okay, contact me via whatsapp for cost estimate, advice.

Not challenging your knowledge, but Abeokuta is sub divided into basement and sedimentary formations, so it was quite early for you conclude for Abeokuta generally.

Places like ; laderin, woke soyinka forest, oke mosan, lukosi, some selected areas of obada, etc. are not recommendable for air compressed rig drill. But it's possible to execute only that the it would be shallow; less than 60meters in most cases and its prone to collapsing of hole except you opt in for case down, which would still result in limited water supply quantity and quality (mud sediment are very likely to be seen time to time, and you would barely get clear water.(and you would expend more in terms of cost), and also the well & storage tanks would need frequent maintenance.

Experts in the house...

I need your help. This project is currently ongoing on my behalf. I'm not available physically to see for myself, and the aim is fast completion.

The welder said I will need 3 tons 12mm and 1 ton 16mm alongside some other smaller sizes from foundation to roof stage.

I prefer to have my own idea of prices for these things also. I need a professional who can always help me checkmate prices of any of this. I will pay per contact if that's how it works.

Btw... Who sells iron here. Kindly give me quote per ton for these. Project is in Abeokuta.

I also need a well digger quote (I prefer deep well to borehole), but I'm open to advice on that

I also need a welder

If we have carpenter for frameworks and roofing carpenter too.

Note: I will compare quotes across 2 or 3 people, and also bring it to elders in the house here.

The plan is to contract these people, even if work never reach them, yet. Make I dey contribute their money for one side.

Sorry for the long post

I can assist regarding the well, but your exact area in Abeokuta will determine my advise on which well to go for ringed well or bore wells(either air compressed or rotary). Also is the use residential or commercial?
