Our equipment

Equipment and technologies

Drilling rigs, a dedicated pumping-test crew and the equipment that supports each stage on site.

Drilling equipment

The equipment behind the drilling

Our rigs and drilling tools are sourced from Indian manufacturers. In-house drilling teams carry out the well construction, supported by separate pumping-test and electromechanical teams.

The project record below shows the depths we have completed. These are records of work delivered, not the rated capacity of an individual rig.

Pumping-test equipment

A dedicated crew for proving the well

A dedicated pumping-test crew brings its own submersible pumps, crane and generators to site.

  • Variable-discharge test pumps

    Submersible pumps let the crew control the pumping rate while observing how the well responds.

  • Pumping-test crane

    The crew’s crane supports the handling and positioning of pumping-test equipment at the well.

  • Generators

    Generators provide power for the pumps and equipment used during testing on site.

Technologies and methods

How we investigate, build and test

Each stage uses the findings from the work before it, from choosing a site to installing the pump.

  • Ground investigation

    When a survey is part of the project, its hydrogeological and geophysical findings decide where the well is sited.

  • Well construction

    Casing, screens and well development follow the agreed design and the ground encountered during drilling.

  • Pumping tests

    Pumping-rate and water-level observations show how the well performs under test.

  • Pump installation

    The well’s performance (from a pumping test, when one is part of the work) and the project’s water needs inform pump selection and installation.

Site readiness and care

Ready for the work on site

Drilling, pumping-test and installation teams coordinate the stages of work, with care for the crew, the borehole and the surrounding ground. Our environmental practice explains how we approach water, drilling fluid, cuttings and handover.
