We provide plugging services for industrial boreholes

Geophysical research and borehole repair services

As there are a lot of companies that offer well drilling and maintenance services in Moscow area and neighboring regions, a lot of unqualified workers or even frauds have also appeared on the market. Companies, that offer drilling services for extremely low prices by using frail or used pipes, cheap consumables with improper equipment selection or installation, are one of the main reasons of well hole malfunction, which forces you to call for a professional to perform repair services. If what you’re looking for is not just a hole in the ground, but a waterhole, it is in your best interest to contact qualified and skilled specialists.

Services list

Our company ”AquaGeo Holding” has a vast amount of experience and all necessary equipment to perform repair services of artesian and sandpoint water well holes:

• Diagnostics (determination of the cause) of water intake malfunction;
• Geophysical research (well logging, video recording) of deep boreholes;
• Constituting an effective plan of borehole restoration;
• Borehole repair (clogging removal, filter replacement, liner pipe replacement, water pumping equipment replacement, flow rate restoration, silting, etc. );
• Testing a water well

Borehole repair cost depends on a method and technology used for borehole restoration, which, in its turn, depends on a type of malfunction.

Borehole repair method, just as a drilling process, requires a distinct and proper approach. Borehole can be ruined beyond repair if given in the wrong hands. Don’t skimp on yourself, trust a team of professionals!

Borehole elimination (plugging)

What is a borehole plugging? To put it simply, borehole elimination is a process of filling a body of a borehole with cement, used to protect a water source from any type of bacteriological or chemical contamination. Artesian water is, without a doubt, a real national treasure for any country. Plugging a borehole prevents any type of contaminants from entering the subsurface of the Earth.

Aforementioned set of works is a responsible and labor-consuming process. The owner of the borehole, however, is fully responsible for carrying out the plugging process accordingly to the project and regulations of borehole plugging. According to the “RD 08-347-00 Borehole plugging, preservation and wellsprings and body equipment” act borehole plugging should be carried out strictly in accordance with following rules (valid on the entire territory of Russian Federation):

• Borehole elimination is carried out in accordance with the building project, which consists of actual information on the topics of subsoil water conservation, borehole elimination regulations, technological solutions, estimations, etc. Project documentation is arranged according to the building code 11-01-95.
• Equipment used for borehole plugging should be approved by Russia’s Gosgortechnadzor.
• Plugging process should be carried out only by admissioned specialists.
• Borehole elimination should be considered completed from the moment of signing the elimination act between the owner of the subsoil water reservoir and the territorial representative of the Gosgortechnadzor.

List of boreholes subjected to obligatory elimination consists of:

• Abandoned boreholes
• Emptied boreholes
• Water sources subjected to elimination according to the regulations of the state control authorities
• Boreholes damaged by irreversible geological soil shifts
• Boreholes corrupted by the poor environmental conditions
• Boreholes maintained in an inadequate technical conditions, etc.
