Once this is established the digging begins. In this particular case, water was approximately five meters below ground level. The excavation is made deeper than the water level and the circumference wider than the concrete rings to allow for the placement of gravel. The gravel allows the water to seep into the well in a filtered condition. It also prevents the water from going back into the ground therefore rises to a higher and more accessible level inside the concrete rings. Once the excavation is made, concrete rings with filter holes are then inserted to meet ground level. Gravel is then placed around the rings. The well can then be completed with decorative finishing touches according the owners taste and requirements. - Construction Management Wed, 03 Oct 2012 00:00:00 +0100
