Vertical Wells
Vertical wells are those made with vertical drilling machinery and their main application is the extraction of groundwater.
Its execution consists of crossing the different layers of the subsoil until reaching the desired depth, leaving a free interior space that allows the placement of a definitive pipe.
There are several types of vertical wells, depending on their execution:
- Drilled wells: They are carried out with machinery that uses different types of drill bits according to the hardness of the rocks previously identified in the research phase.
- Piled wells: Pipe laying by ground deformation and direct sinking of a perforated pipe with pointed end.
