With the drought problem in South Africa becoming more and more serious, groundwater resources have become an important lifeline for rural areas and farms. Recently, a farmer from the Free State of South Africa found YG Machinery in China through the Internet and successfully ordered a YG-300 Water Bore Rig for deep water well drilling operations on his farm.
The customer operates a medium-sized farm that grows corn and sorghum, and is always constrained by a lack of water. Due to the tight water supply in the area, he wanted to build his own well to solve his irrigation problems. He had already contacted several drilling service providers, but due to the high cost, he decided to purchase a water well drilling rig and do the work himself in order to reduce his long-term operating costs.
YG-300 drilling rig is a hot model among our medium-sized crawler water well drilling rigs, which has the advantages of high efficiency, high torque, and adapting to multiple strata. This drilling rig is suitable for hard strata, cemented strata, cobblestone strata and other complex geologies, and is especially suitable for semi-arid and rocky conditions typical of the South African region.
After signing the contract, YG team quickly organized the shipment of the whole rig by sea from Qingdao port to Durban port in South Africa, with a shipping cycle of about 28 days. To assist customers to get started quickly, we also provide:
Full English operation manual;
Rig assembly and operation process video;
Remote WhatsApp technical guidance support, etc.
Customer feedback: “Although it was my first time to contact the drilling rig equipment, YG’s service was very considerate and helped me successfully complete the drilling of my first water well!”
Successful completion of the first 200-meter water borehole
The depth of the first well on this farm is 200 meters, which belongs to deep groundwater resources. The drilling rig operated stably during the operation, drilling about 25 meters per hour, and the whole project took less than 3 days. According to the customer, this water borehole drilling machine has greatly improved the operational efficiency and provided a reliable water source for the farm’s subsequent expansion.
