Our Services

Hydro Geological Survey

Gangotri Drilling Ltd perfoms geological assessments that focuses on groundwater resources, including their location, depth, quality, and potential for sustainable use. It's a crucial step before drilling a borehole, helping to identify the most suitable location and depth for a water well. The survey also assesses the water quality, aquifer characteristics, and potential environmental impacts of drilling.

Drilling & Casing Installation.

Installing drilling casing as the hole is drilled helps to stabilize loose, or unpredictable formations, and shore up the hole. This is particularly the case when penetrating clay, silt, sand, gravel, cobbles, boulders, and fractured rock. Casing and drilling simultaneously improve drilling efficiency.

Flushing.

Cleaning a borehole by removing debris, cuttings, and drilling fluids to improve water flow and prevent contamination. It involves using a high-pressure fluid to dislodge and remove sediments from the borehole walls and aquifer, restoring natural flow and preventing potential damage to the pump.

Test Pumping

Gangotri Drilling Ltd a crucial assesses the yield and sustainability of a new or existing borehole, helping to determine the optimal pumping rate and assess the impact on surrounding groundwater resources.

Pump Installation

Our company provides follows a professional approach to ensure optimal water extraction and system longevity. It includes assessing the borehole, selecting the appropriate pump, and ensuring proper installation and maintenance.

Borehole Equipping

Installing necessary equipments, like pumps and accessories, within a drilled borehole to create a functional water supply system. This involves selecting and installing pumps, control systems, and other components to ensure the borehole operates efficiently and reliably.

Pros & Cons of Borehole Drilling

Pros

  • Reliable Water Supply - Boreholes can provide a dependable and continuous supply of water, especially in areas with limited access to mains water or water scarcity.
  • Long-Term Savings - borehole water can be cheaper than relying on mains water bills and may also reduce reliance on expensive water trucks
  • Increased Property Value - Having a borehole can be seen as a desirable feature, potentially increasing the market value of a property.
  • Water Quality - Borehole water often has less microbial contamination than open wells, as it has filtered through more rock layers.

Cons

  • Environmental Impact - Drilling a borehole can have environmental impacts, such as disrupting soil and potentially affecting groundwater resources.
  • Risk of Contamination - While boreholes offer some protection against surface contamination, they can still be susceptible to chemical contamination if the water source is contaminated.
  • High Initial Costs - Drilling a borehole can be a significant upfront investment
  • Maintenance Responsibilities - Boreholes require regular maintenance, including pump maintenance and potential repairs, which can incur ongoing costs
  • Depth and Drilling Methods - The depth and type of drilling method used will influence the cost and effectiveness of the borehole.

Pro Tip & Guidelines For Clients.

  • Avoid AGENTS.
  • Seeing the rig & rig owner before committing to the job.
  • Making sure the client has someone in the ground while drilling, casing installation & flushing to ensure borehole is drilled to the required depth.
  • Ensuring client & contractor have an agreement in place before mobilizing rig.
  • Ensuring test pumping is done for a comprehensive 24 hours so that contractor can advise on the yield and pump to be used i.e solar, electrical or handpump.
