The conditions for a borehole with a heat pump

Manual auger drilling

If you are drilling by hand, you can use a manual auger. Designed to easily dig the ground, this tool comes in several forms. You will therefore have to choose between the conical, clay, Riverside auger or the flooding model . Inexpensive, this equipment will facilitate your drilling work.

Water drilling

This type of drilling is obtained using a pressurized water lance connected to a motor pump . With this method, you will inject the liquid directly into a drill string that you have previously planted in the area to be drilled. Thus, the mud obtained by the mixture of water and debris will easily rise to the surface and you can arrange the hole at your convenience.

Percussion drilling

This is one of the most widely used drilling methods. To use it, you will need a trephine (spoon), a rope or cable and a tripod or a goat. To apply the percussion drilling technique, all you have to do is work the cable up and down so that the bit digs into the ground. This movement will also help clear debris from the borehole . Once the hole has been made, put in place a metal or PVC pre-casing which will prevent any risk of the structure collapsing.

Mud drilling

Mud drilling is a variation of the wet method. It consists of bringing debris from the ground to the surface. To use this method, you must operate the drill string vertically. This will aim to break up as much debris as possible in the ground. Then you have to moisten the soil and remove the mud and debris. This technique allows you to drill up to 35 m deep.
