Engineering Water Well Solutions

XPLOM designs and constructs high-performance water wells for mining and industrial clients that demand dependable, long-term groundwater supply. Our programmes integrate hydrogeological assessment, engineered well design and precision drilling operations executed by experienced crews operating purpose-built equipment.

We deploy dual rotary, rotary air and DTH drilling methods matched to site geology and project requirements. Every well is constructed to specification and commissioned with full pump testing and documentation — delivering assets that perform reliably from day one.

Applications

  • Production Water Wells
  • Dewatering Wells
  • Pump Testing
  • Borehole Camera Inspection
  • Well Rehabilitation
  • Preventive Well Maintenance
Water well pump testing and borehole inspection

Dual Rotary Drilling Methods

Dual rotary drilling — drill bit ahead of casing

Method 1

Drill Bit Ahead of Casing

In competent formations, the drill bit advances ahead of the casing string. This configuration maximises drilling efficiency, reduces torque and delivers faster penetration rates in stable geological conditions.

Method 2

Casing Ahead of Drill Bit

In unstable, fractured or unconsolidated formations, the casing advances ahead of the drill bit. This approach continuously supports the borehole wall, eliminates collapse risk and ensures reliable drilling performance in difficult ground conditions.
