In the South American country of Peru, the distribution of water resources in the Andean region is extremely uneven, and some remote villages have been relying on rainwater harvesting and water trucks for many years to supply water, which seriously affects the daily lives of residents and agricultural production. 2025 early, a water project contractor from Cusco Province, Peru, contacted YG through the Internet. In early 2025, a water project contractor from Cusco Province, Peru, contacted YG Machinery through the internet and finally chose to purchase a YG-400 deep well drilling machine for the village water development project.
Project Background: Highland Drought, Imminent Water Shortage
Peru’s mountainous terrain is rich in groundwater resources, but the depth of the buried water is large, and deep well drilling machines are often needed to obtain a stable source of water. The contractor said, “The project we received is located in a mountainous area at an altitude of about 3,600 meters, and conventional equipment is unable to meet the requirements for drilling at great depths, while artificial water extraction or shallow wells cannot solve the problem.”
The customer saw the YG brand’s case studies in many countries around the world on the Internet, and after comparison, finally chose the YG-400 model water drilling rig as the main equipment for the construction.
YG-400 is a medium-large crawler deep well drilling rig, equipped with 92kw diesel power, which can easily penetrate through sandstone, shale, pebble layers and other hard geology, and is suitable for water wells, geothermal wells, agricultural irrigation wells and other deep well drilling projects. It is especially suitable for the highland rock environment like Peru.
Construction Process: Precise and Efficient, Stable Well Water Output
After the rig was shipped from Qingdao Port to Callao Port in Peru, the customer successfully completed the installation and commissioning under the remote video guidance of our engineers and started the construction work on site smoothly. Even though the geology is hard and there are a lot of rock layers, YG-400, with strong torque and automatic propulsion system, completed the construction of a 260-meter-deep water well in only 6 days, and the water output was stable at 4.2 cubic meters per hour.
The project manager said, “This equipment is not only powerful, but also very stable. The operation interface is simple and clear, and we only trained two local operators to work on it, which greatly reduces the labor cost and deep well drilling cost.”
The customers spoke highly of YG’s equipment performance and service, and said they would purchase a second machine for other mountain projects. They especially mentioned:
The equipment adapts to the plateau environment and has strong rock penetration;
Stable performance and saving labor cost;
more cost-effective than local or European and American imported equipment;
Fast response of technical support and remote guidance.
Multiple models to choose: YG-180 to YG-600, drilling depth from 180m to 600m.
Strong penetration ability: can cope with granite, hard rock layer, gravel layer and other complex geology.
Remote service support: provide video training, installation guidance, after-sales Q&A.
Global shipping experience: exported to 60+ countries, with many export qualifications.
Transparent and reasonable price: help customers effectively control deep well drilling cost.
If you are looking for reliable and efficient deep well drilling machine with rock penetration ability in Peru and South America, YG Machinery is undoubtedly a reliable partner. We also sell core drilling rigs, DTH drilling rigs, portable water well drilling rigs and more.
