Cleaning and Rehabilitation of Wells

Preservation and Optimization of the Extraction System

Regular maintenance of water wells is crucial to ensure the quality of the extracted resource and extend the lifespan of the system. Over time, the accumulation of sediments, organic deposits, and microorganisms can compromise the flow and efficiency of the well, making cleaning and, when necessary, rehabilitation essential.

Diagnosis and Initial Assessment

Before proceeding with the cleaning, it is vital to carry out a detailed diagnosis of the well. This assessment identifies the root cause of the issues - whether it be sediment buildup, incrustations, or even structural damage - and determines the most appropriate intervention.

For this process, measurement and inspection equipment is used to record the well's condition and define the best course of action.

Rehabilitation Processes

In some cases, beyond cleaning, rehabilitation interventions are necessary to restore the well’s extraction capacity. The main actions include:

• Structural Rehabilitation

  Installation of new casing pipes to reinforce the well walls.

• System Reconfiguration

  Adjustments can be made to the installation of pumping equipment to optimize water extraction and improve the overall efficiency of the system.

Benefits of Preventive Maintenance

Preventive maintenance of water wells offers several benefits:

• Water Quality

  The removal of sediments and deposits ensures that the extracted water remains clean and suitable for various purposes.

• Efficiency

  By carrying out regular maintenance on a well, there is a greater chance that it will have a consistent flow and have fewer failures, which contributes to the continuity and safety of the supply.

• Resource Sustainability

  Preventive maintenance allows for a more rational use of water resources.
