Logging 18 hours after which pilot hole is drilled to the required depth and samples taken from ditch cuttings
at 3m/10ft intervals and shall be kept intact.
Upon completion of the pilot hole, down-hole geophysical logging shall be carried out, whose
interpretation shall delineate the most prolific/best aquifer within the probed horizon, the drilled hole
shall be reamed to accommodate the specified casing and screen to be installed.
The installation shall be done carefully, back-flushed, gravel packed until the whole casing assembly is
stable, then followed by cement grouting.
Well Development and The development of the well shall be done using a high powered compressor to agitate the aquifer
