So what is a drilled well, exactly?
A narrow, deep bore, lined on the inside with pipe, that reaches water held between grains and cracks below ground. People call it artesian when the pressure lifts the water on its own; most of the time a pump does the lifting up to the tank.
The grey pipe running down the edge of this page stands in for the casing: it holds the walls of the bore so loose earth cannot cave in, and it keeps deep water apart from whatever trickles in near the surface.
Drilling, one step after another
Every plot rewrites the script a little, yet the order tends to hold. Here is the broad outline, without figures, because what the ground gives back only shows once the hole exists.
- A talk and a visit Hearing what the water is for and looking at the patch where the rig will stand.
- Picking the spot Distance from the septic tank, the animal pens and other wells, truck access, solid footing.
- The bore The rig pushes down through the layers while the cuttings that come up are watched along the way.
- Casing and screen Pipe set into the hole, with the slotted section placed level with where the water comes in.
- Clearing the well Pumping until the water runs free of drilling mud.
- Slab and cap Finishing the wellhead so rain and dirt stay on the outside.
Pump, wire and control box
A well with no pump is just a tidy hole. The electrical side joins the two ends: the cable down to the motor, the box with its protection, the float switch that signals a full tank. A mistake here means a burnt motor and a steep power bill.
That is why the company also keeps a counter for electrical and plumbing supplies, hardware and tools. Whoever is putting the system together finds in one place what the installation calls for:
- cable and wire
- panels and breakers
- pipe and fittings
- valves and taps
- clamps and fasteners
- hand tools
The engineering nobody photographs
Between the first phone call and water at the tap there is a paper side: surveying the plot, sketching the well, sizing the pump and the pipework, keeping a technical eye on the job. Engineering services sit in the company's registration and come in where a project asks for them.
Two things never depend on the drill. The permit to draw groundwater and a quality test of the water are requirements the owner settles with the proper authorities and with a laboratory. The company explains the route, yet promises neither outcome, nor any amount of water before the bore is there.
What this site leaves out
No price per metre, no build timeline, no guaranteed flow. Each of those answers rests on the ground, the use and the conversation. Nor do we list customers or jobs: the page is here to introduce the company and give you a way to reach it.
Questions that come up the pipe
- Can anyone tell beforehand how much water there will be?
- Not with certainty. Local knowledge and the lie of the land help, but the honest answer only shows up once the hole is drilled and the well has been pumped for a while.
- Who handles the permission to use the water?
- The landowner. The company walks you through which papers tend to be requested and at what stage of the job they come in, but the request is filed by whoever will use the water.
- Is the water ready to drink?
- Nobody should claim so without a test. A sample sent off to a lab is what tells you whether it suits drinking or needs treatment first.
- Is the supply counter only for people who drill with WR?
- No. The electrical, plumbing, hardware and tool counter serves anyone fitting out or repairing their own installation.
- Do you work outside Brazlândia?
- The base is in the Alexandre Gusmão rural settlement. For other places, the talk begins by e-mail or phone, with the plot's address at hand.
