Big or small, shallow or deep—Foraco has drilled over 40,000 water wells worldwide in all types of geological formations ranging from 20 meters to 2,000 meters in depth.
Depending on the use of the well, Foraco installs a wide range of equipment in the bore holes, from a full polyvinyl chloride (PVC) installation for shallow wells, to 100% steel casing for deeper wells that extend to more than 200 meters in depth. Foraco has developed its own proprietary method of hydraulically fracturing rocks in the production zone of the aquifer to stimulate the well and increase yield.
Foraco has developed its own reverse circulation drilling technique called “Flooded reverse” which enables it to identify the nature of the geological formations encountered, detecting each intersected aquifer and to accurately measure the quality of the water and the potential yields. Foraco’s technical expertise means it can equip the wells with pumps, and provide the required instrumentation to understand and manage the resource.
