lightweight cable tool drill rig / forage à faible coût

This prototype cable tool rig is an experiment in low-cost water well drilling in West Africa. The goal is to create a machine for less than 4000 USD that can install small capacity wells up to 40m depth in zones where water can be obtained without drilling through dozens of meters of granite bedrock. Drillers will be able to buy or lease equipment through a franchise and operate their own businesses drilling wells targeting the household market in rural areas and in periurban neighborhoods that do not have reliable public water. Geology at this test site is red clay down to the water table at 22 feet, saturated clay with high mica content darkening to gray down to 30 feet, turning progressively to coarse gray sand, an intrusive vein of quartz-feldspar porphyry at 45 feet which was easily shattered to the point that pipe could be driven past it, and as of publication back to coarse sand. The pipe is Interplast 200mm well casing which will be pulled back after placing the gravel pack.

Ce prototype foreuse à câble est un essai à faire le forage à faible coût. Le but c'est de fabriquer une machine coutant moins de 2 million CFA capable de forer jusqu'a 40m dans les lieux ou on peut trouver de l'eau sans creuser des dizaines de metre de granite. Les foreurs auront de droite de louer ou acheter l'equipements et les utiliser pour creer leur propre entreprise. Ils cibleront les quartiers rural ou mal-servi par le service publique. Le sol à cet endroit est d'argiles rouges jusqu'a la nappe à 7m, argile gris jusqu'a 10m, sable gris, un petit couche de porphyre de quartz-feldspath, et encore de sable gris. Le tuyau c'est Interplast 200mm, et sera retirer après le placement des gravier autour du tubage permanant.

Thanks for posting this, hit water @ 40 feet after building a similar rig from mostly scrap parts/things. I plan on going about 20 feet past hitting water but its at the end of summer and we get a lot of rain here so I feel good about it already. Your video and web explanation was helpful, appreciate it.

Молодец! Хорошая буровая машина получилась! Спасибо что поделился ссылкой на сборку этого аппарата.

Great simple design. Of course, the whole thing can be done by hand but it's going to be a whole lot slower. Also, I imagine you needn't stop at 40m with this, there's no reason per se not to just keep going, as long as you're not in rock - though a set-up like this could even gradually smash through limestone I guess.

Very cool!
I like that he wears office clothes in the dirt. ;).

[@jaberzway8982]

Great job, could you please give me the design of this machine

[@cabletoolafrique]

You can see the blog at longenotes.wordpress.com for more detail on the construction of the machine.

I have just started drilling with this machine and i found difficulies to carry out the sand and its not progressing anymore please what should i do?

[@kevingamuna6242]

this is cool can do a job only 1 guy thats awesome

como fabricar máquina

[@babacargueyeable]

Helle we are in senegal and are looking to get machine of this type

[@cabletoolafrique]

I am not exporting yet, but you can look at the design at www.longenotes.wordpress.com. You can probably find the parts to build one in Senegal without much trouble. There is a more recent video with updates to the machine on my channel.

Hhhhh

[@mohamedsaidmohamedsalembei2063]

Encantado de ver vuestra cobrarás de la realización de vuestras perforaciones. Además el personal se ve que son muy profesionales,

[@tiagoscp36]

Do you have something at the end of the drill pipe to hold the dirt ?

[@cabletoolafrique]

You make mud with the hammer bit, then bail it out with the bailer. You have to add water until you get into the water table.
