Technical Specifications

These technical specifications have been developed to guide the drilling of hand pumps and
production boreholes for supplying water to various communities. They are based on various
documents for borehole construction. In developing the spacifications, different stakeholders,
drilling contractors, hydrogeologists and engineers who have experience in the drilling industry
have been involved and consulted.

1.0 Scope of works

The work includes drilling boreholes, installation of casings and screens; provision and installation
of gravel packing; development of boreholes; test pumping; obtaining water and rock samples;
water quality analysis and installation with hand pump or motor driven pumps; as specified
hereafter and as directed by the Supervisor.

The contractors must therefore at the end of the contract furnish information on all boreholes
constructed to the client including dry wells, or technically failed wells.

1.1 Location of the works

The works are located in communities/rural growth centres/ urban areas of ----------------------------
------------------------------------------in …………………………districts. (List of sites should be
attached.)

2.0 Drilling site

The Contractor shall drill the borehole(s) at the exact location(s) designated by the Employer or the
Supervisor and agreed with the local communities or beneficiaries. Tracks required for access of
drilling plant, gear, camp and accessories to the borehole site shall be made by the contractor with
help of the beneficiary community and the local leaders, and should as little as necessary interfere
with existing fences and cultivated land. Borehole locations shall be identified in agreement with the
local communities and in Consultation with the Client.

The table below shows the minimum distances downslope of the borehole that are to
be observed.

Exiting structures Minimum distance from borehole (m)

Existing public water points ( well/borehole) 500
Other existing waterwell or boreholes 500
Latrines/Septic tank/Soak way 30
Streams, irrigation ditches 20
Buildings 10
Approved or informal soild waste dump , burial 500
ground, lubricant depot
“It should be noted that boreholes used for hand pump water supplies could be at smaller distances from
a hydrogeological sustainability point of view.”

3.0 Environmental protection of the site

Care must be taken in the handling and storage of drilling fluids, oils, greases and fuel to avoid
introducing environmental contaminants and pollutants. The Contractor shall dispose of any toxic
materials including drilling fluids, cuttings and discharged waters in a manner approved by the
Clientand so as not to contaminate/pollute public and private property. The Contractor shall
adhere to the set of “Environmental Guidelines and Code of Conduct” issued to him by the
Employer. The Contractor shall ensure that all their personnel are aware of Environmental
protection requirements.The Contractor’s adherence to these guidelines will be closely monitored
by the Supervisor, and any infringement by the Contractor may render unacceptable the particular
portion of the Works to which it applies.

4.0 Materials for the works and workmanship

All materials that will form part of the complete works must be supplied new and used as specified
in the technical specifications for the works. Materials must comply with the minimum
specifications in the relevant codes. Materials not specified in the technical specifications and which
also do not comply with the minimum specifications in the relevant codes of practice shall not be
used. Where a national standard does not exist for the material, the relevant British Standard shall
apply.

The Contractor is expected to carry out all works as specified and in a professional manner, up to
the best professional standards. The Contractor shall carry out operations with due efficiency and
dispatch in accordance with the terms of the contract and to the satisfaction of the Client. The
Contractor shall use suitable equipment, supply efficient and experienced staff.

Borehole Technical Specification Page 3 of 39

 a) The Contractor will provide an experienced project Coordinator to oversee the drilling to
be carried out under this Contract.
b) The Contractor will maintain a full crew on each drilling unit and pump test unit with the
necessary training, skills and experience to effectively and efficiently carrying out the
contract.
c) If the Client is dissatisfied with the performance of a member of the crew, such member
shall be informed of their shortcomings and warned by the Client’s representative/
supervisor. If no change results within a reasonable period, the Contractor will be notified
and requested to take necessary measures on the unsatisfactory crew member.

5.0 Contractor to provide all equipment for the works

All necessary machinery, equipment and materials to carry out the drilling, test pumping,
headwork construction shall be provided by the contractor. The Contractor shall specify the
equipment type and capacity that is to be used to undertake the drilling works. Its capacity shall be
sufficient to cope with the Works as stated in the Contract. It shall at all times be kept in full
working order and goodrepair.

Test pumping equipment shall be independent from the drilling rig(s). Prior to mobilization the
Client shall verify the specifications and state of repair of all major items of plant and transport,
and shall have the right to order the removal and/or replacement of any items which in his opinion
are insufficient or in unsatisfactory condition. Acceptance by the Client or his representative of
the Contractor’s proposed plant and transport does not relieve the contractor of his obligations.

Equipment and materials for borehole construction

Borehole Technical Specification Page 4 of 39

In cases where the plant and transport accepted by the Client fails to successfully complete the
required works, the Client shall have the right to call upon the Contractor to put such equipment
in good order within seven days; or alternatively to remove such plant and replace it with
additional plant or equipment which the Client considers necessary to meet the requirements of
the Contract. In the event that this requirement is not satisfied, the Client reserves the right to
terminate the Contract immediately. No extra payment shall be made for the Contractor's
change of drilling equipment, labor or other equipment required to complete the Works
specified, nor for any incidentals thereto, the cost being deemed to be included in the schedule of
rates. All machinery, equipment and materials to carry out the said Works shall be handled,
transported and stored in accordance with the manufacturers’ recommendations to minimise
deterioration.

6.0 Supervision of the works

The execution of the Works is supervised by the Client or Client’s appointed Supervisor as named
in the Contract Data. The supervisor / supervising hydrogeologist in most cases will also be
responsible for geological survey and borehole siting. This hydrogeologist will also be duly registered
and a holder of a valid license issued by Ministry of Water and Environment.

7.0 Drilling method

The preferred method of drilling in consolidated compact formations is direct or reverse

circulation rotary and down-the-hole hammer drilling techniques, using an appropriate
(biodegradable) drilling fluid. Boreholes will be drilled with 5/6 inch drill bits and reamed to the
right size based on the amount of water available and also for lowering temporary casings.

In unconsolidated loose, unstable, collapsing formations, rotary with appropriate drilling stabilizer
will be used. In such a case the drilling diameters will betelescopic starting with diameters large
enough to lower temporary casing in the upper collapsing formations and continue drilling with a
final minimum diameter of 6 inch bit.

The drilling fluids and additives shall consist of water, bio-degradable drilling mud, weight materials
(barite or equivalent), fluid loss control materials, and foam. The selection, supply and use of drilling
additives shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. Toxic or dangerous substances that may
adversely affect the quality of the water shall not be added to the drilling fluid. The Contractor
shall be responsible for maintaining the quality of the drilling fluid to assure the protection of the
aquifer and other potential water bearing formations and ensure that good representative samples
of the formation material are obtained.

The Contractor may use any motorized drilling technique that will achieve the depth and diameter
required of the well, provided that the techniques used are those specified in his proposal and
approved by the Client.The rig to be deployed must be capable of drilling to at least a depth of
Borehole Technical Specification Page 5 of 39
25% beyond the anticipated final depth at the required diameter. If the Contractor wishes to cease
drilling at a shallower depth and complete the borehole at this depth, he must first get the
approval of the Client or his representative.This approval will be provided in writing and will be
signed by the Client or his representative. If the Contractor is unable to drill to the required
depth due to unsuitable or defective drilling equipment and/or inadequate operator competence,
the borehole will not be accepted and the Client shall not be held accountable for any costs
associated with that particular borehole.

Temporary casing may be installed in the borehole to prevent formation heave or collapse or
sloughing. Installation and diameter of any temporary casing required for the construction of the
borehole shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. The installations should be in such a way as
to meet the contract specifications. The use of bentonite mud, lost circulation agents or any form
of plugging material that may ultimately affect the production capacity of the water bearing strata
intersected will not be permitted.

8.0 Strata sampling and borehole geodata

While the drilling operation progresses, representative samples (min. 100 grams) of strata
penetrated shall be collected at intervals of (2) meters or as instructed by the supervisor. In
general the strata samples will also be taken at every change in colour, texture, grain size
composition, profile and where water or an aquifer is struck. Cutting samples shall be bagged,
labeled with borehole depth at time of collection, and stored in a position where they will not be
contaminated by site conditions or drilling operations. The Contractor shall supply strong,
transparent sample bags and indelible labels as required. The Contractor shall take every possible
precaution to guard against sample contamination.

At completion of drilling, the contractor will be required to complete the borehole geo-log with
all information describing the properties of the samples, appearances of water and aquifers, rock
types and sampling details.The contractor will then complete the borehole log reports / forms and
borehole completion reports / forms which shall include test pumping data sheets, water quality
test certificates and installation data sheets and hand them over to the client.The Contractor
will also be required to hand to the client complete borehole logs and all information
from dry boreholes and boreholes considered unsuccessful as a result of poor water
quality or other technical failures

Borehole Technical Specification Page 6 of 39

9.0 Borehole depth and diameter

The Contractor shall drill to the total depth and at such diameter as will be instructed by the
Employer or the Supervisor. No borehole will be acceptable if drilled to a depth and diameter other
than that instructed in writing by the Client or his appointed Supervisor. The total depth will depend
on the geological formation and yield requirements. The minimum diameter will be as per the
specifications or contract or any other written agreement between the Client and the contractor. It
is preferred that drilling starts with a small diameter, and then reamed to the right size.

10. Temporary casing

In order to prevent the collapse of unstable strata, the contractor may use temporary casings.
These temporary casings will be provided by the contractor and removed after use. Installation
and diameter (which should not be less than 8 inches) of any temporary casing required for the
construction of the borehole will be at the discretion of the Contractor provided that the finished
product meets the specifications and is approved by the Supervisor. Cost for supply, installation
and removal of temporary casing shall be borne entirely by the Contractor. The Contractor
cannot claim from the employer any temporary casing left in the borehole that is not retrievable.

11. Casing and screens

Aquifer zones shall be completely or partly lined with uPVC screen as per the specifications and
approved by the Supervisor. The Supervisor however reserves the right to vary these specifications
Borehole Technical Specification Page 7 of 39
and reject materials if found substandard. The permanent casing shall be of unplasticised polyvinyl
chloride complying with DIN 8061 and DIN 8062 or (ISO 161/1) standards. The casing and screens
shall be 8/7/6/5" ND and shall have a minimum thickness of 6 mm and tensile strength of at least
45MN/m2. The PVC pipes shall be joined by threads and the joints shall be watertight. Filter pipes
(screens) shall be of slotted unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (rigid PVC uPVC), complying with DIN
4925, year 1981 standard. Sections of the screen shall be provided in maximum 3m length and
joined water tight by either flush threaded connections or by an appropriate method
recommended by the screen manufacturer or an equivalent standard, so that the resulting joint
shall be strong and have the same structural integrity as the casing and screen themselves.

In particular cases the lower end of the screen should be completed with a sump of minimum
0.5m and maximum 2m length. The collapse resistance of the casings shall normally be a minimum
of 6.5kg/cm2. The screen open area shall be between 6-10% and shall have a uniform slot size of
between 0.5-1.5mm.

Sections of the screens shall be provided in 3m lengths and joined water tight by either flush
threaded connections, or by an appropriate method recommended by the manufacturer or an
equivalent standard, so that the resulting joint shall be strong and have the same structural
integrity as the casing and the screen themselves. In particular cases the lower end of the screen
shall be completed with a sump of minimum 0.5m and maximum 2m length. The bottom end shall
be sealed with a suitable bottom cap or cement seal.The casing should extend at least 0.3 metres
above the ground surface.The contractor will transport and store the casing pipes at the drilling
site, in such a way as to prevent distortion and bending of the pipe.

12. Verticality and Alignment

All wells shall be vertical, shall be drilled and cased straight, and all casings/screens shall be set
round, plumb and true to line. If required by the Client, the Contractor shall ensure that the
departure from the verticality does not exceed 3mm for every 10m between ground level and the
bottom of the well. If this departure is exceeded, the Contractor shall make the necessary
corrections to the approval of the Client, without additional payment. If the error cannot be
corrected, then drilling shall cease, and a new borehole shall be drilled at a position nearby,
indicated by the Supervisor.

13. Lost/abandoned borehole

"Lost" boreholes are either "dry" boreholes or "uncompleted/technically failed" boreholes.

13.1 Dry Boreholes

In these guidelines, dry boreholes are defined as follows:-

Borehole Technical Specification Page 8 of 39

 13.1.1 A borehole having no water bearing zones/aquifers.
13.1.2. A Borehole that has insufficient discharge (less than 500 liters/hour) for 3 hours of
continuous pumping test, in case of a hand pump.
13.1.3 A borehole with stabilized Dynamic Water Level of more than 90 meters at
minimum acceptable discharge of 500litres/hour for a hand pump.

13.2 Uncompleted/Technically failed Borehole

13.2.1 For any reasons, contractor is unable to continue drilling and complete the
construction of borehole then this borehole is deemed to be an “uncompleted“ borehole.

13.2.2 In case of ‘"uncompleted" boreholes, no payment shall be made for that borehole
either for drilling or materials that cannot be salvaged and the rig's unproductive time
spent. If the Contractor chooses todeviate from standard procedure and the agreed
method of drilling, and wishes to adopt any other procedure or techniques that involve(s)
any additional cost and time required, it will be done so entirely at the Contractor's own
risk and cost.

13.2.3. In case of “technically failed” borehole the water quality may not meet the National
guidelines for drinking water. In this case the contractor is paid for the work done.

If completion of the well is prevented by any incident to the plant, behavior of the ground,
jamming of the tools, or casing or any other cause, the well shall be deemed to be lost/abundoned.
There shall be no payment made for that borehole or for any materials not recovered therefrom,
nor for any time spent during drilling or while attempting to overcome problems.

In the event of a lost borehole, the Contractor shall construct a new well. The option of declaring
any bore lost shall rest with the Contractor, subject to the approval of the Client.

A lost/abandoned/uncompleted borehole shall be treated as follows:-

a) The Contractor may salvage as much casing and screen from the lost well as possible, and
may use it if not damaged in a replacement well, with the approval of the Client or his
representative.
b) Any material supplied by the Client and salvaged damaged shall become the property of the
Contractor, and the Contractor shall compensate the Client accordingly.
c) The lost bore shall be sealed by concrete or cement grout or neat cement, which shall be
placed from 2m-5m below ground and the rest of the hole with drill cuttings or other
materials like aggregates.
d) The upper 2 meters of the lost bore shall be backfilled with native top soil. Sealing of such
abandoned wells shall be done in such a manner as to avoid accidents or subsidence, and to

Borehole Technical Specification Page 9 of 39

 prevent it from acting as a vertical conduit for transmitting contaminated surface or
subsurface waters into the water bearing formations.

14. Water supply for drilling

The contractor shall make his own arrangement for obtaining, transporting and pumping of water
required for drilling purposes in case of mud drilling and for use by the drilling crew at their camp
site.

15. Well design

The final design of the borehole shall be confirmed by the Client or his representative in
consultation with the Contractor during the drilling process. Drilling should preferably be started
with the smallest size and then the borehole reammed to the right size based on observations of the
nature of formation penetrated and the volume of water obtained. The size of the casing size to be
installed will depend on the anticipated or estimated yield of the borehole, and as defined in the
contract. Typical standard borehole designs are described below.

For Large Dimeter Boreholes (Well Field Boreholes)

Design B: Drilled at 400-420mm (12” to 14”) through soft collapsible overburden until firm rock is
encountered. Drilled further with (203-250) mm bit for 3m or more through non-collapsing
formation. Cased fully with 7.5"/7” (191mm/177mm) ND uPVC Class D casing, 6mm wall thickness.
The size of the casing will depend on the volume of water encountered. Drilling to continue with
203mm bit to final depth. Screened sections adjacent to aquifer zones at depths as instructed by the
Supervisor. The screened sections are to be gravel packed. Bottom annular space between uPVC
casing and borehole to be grouted with cement slurry of 1.67-2.08 Kg cement/litre (24-30 litres of
water per 50 Kg bag of cement). Grout is to be injected into the annulus using tremie pipes, or a
method approved by the Supervisor, in a continuous operation so that a complete and continuous
seal is achieved.

For Production Boreholes

Design B: Drilled at 300mm (12”) through soft collapsible overburden until firm rock is
encountered. Drilled further with 250mm (10”) bit for 3m or more through non-collapsing
formation. Cased with 6"/6.5’’ (152/165mm) ND uPVC Class D casing, 6mm wall thickness.
Screened sections adjacent to aquifer zones at depths as instructed by the Supervisor. The screened
sections are to be gravel packed.The size of the casings and their length should depend on the
amount of water anticipated or obtained. Drilling to continue with 175 mm (7’’) bit to final depth.
Bottom annular space between uPVC casing and borehole to be grouted with cement slurry of 1.67-
2.08 Kg cement/litre (24-30 litres of water per 50 Kg bag of cement). Grout is to be injected into the
annulus using tremie pipes, or a method approved by the Supervisor, in a continuous operation so
Borehole Technical Specification Page 10 of 39
that a complete and continuous seal is achieved. In general, since these boreholes are installed with
motor driven pumps, it is preferred that they are fully cased.

The following table can be used for guidance.

Yield [m3 /hr] Pump Duty lift Motor/Pump dia. Rising Pipe dia. Min Casing dia.
[m] [mm]
<8 <170 95 / 101 2” 5”
<14 <110 95 / 101 2” 5”
<17 <75 95 / 131 2½ 6”
<17 <220 138 / 142 2½ 6”
<30 <190 138 / 142 3” 6”
<46 <170 138 / 147 4” 8”
<60 <180 138 / 147 5” 8”
<77 <130 143 / 200 5” 8”
<95 <95 143 / 200 5” 8”
<95 <150 192 / 209 5” 10”

In general the casing diameters in the table below will suit the areadily available pumps.

Desired Yield [m3 /hr] Minimum Casing Internal Diameter

15 5”
36 6”
54 8”
90 10”

NB: It should be noted that research and development in drilling methods, tools and borehole
equipment is a continuous activity and the data in the tables above may routinely be superseded by
new developments. From this table, a borehole could be drilled with a small diameter and reamed
if it is above 15m3/hr to use 6”/7” casing, otherwise 5”casing is sufficient.

For Hand Pumps

Design A: Drilled at 10⅝ inch (270mm) through soft collapsible overburden until firm rock is
encountered. Drilled further with 8½ or 6½ inch (215mm – 165mm) bit for 3m or more through
non-collapsing formation or competent rock. Cased with 5"/6’’127/152 ND uPVC Class D casing,
6mm wall thickness. Drilling to continue with 4½inch (114mm) bit to final depth. Bottom annular
space between uPVC casing and borehole to be grouted with cement slurry of 1.67-2.08 Kg
cement/litre (24-30 litres of water per 50 Kg bag of cement). Grout is to be injected into the annulus
using pump and tremie pipes, or a method approved by the Supervisor, in a continuous operation
so that a complete and continuous seal is achieved.
Borehole Technical Specification Page 11 of 39
Design B : Drilled with 10 inch (254mm) bit to final depth and where necessary finished with 8
inch bit to final depth. Cased with 5" (127mm) ND uPVC Class D casing. Screens are placed adjacent
to aquifer zones at depths as instructed by the Supervisor. The screened sections are gravel packed.
This type of design is used when water is obtained in unconsolderd formation of highly
fractured/weathered formation which is not strong enough to stand on its own.

16. Gravel pack

The Contractor shall supply suitable gravel pack. Prior to delivery, samples of the gravel pack shall
be subjected to a grain size analysis at the Contractor’s expense.The Contractor shall be required
to submit samples of the gravel pack material prior to installation for approval by the Supervisor.
Gravel pack shall consist of washed, well-rounded particles of a uniform grading of between 2.5
and 4.0mm, shall comprise at least 95% siliceous material and must contain no clay, shale, silt,
fines, excessive amounts of calcareous material or crushed rock.

Gravel packing is carried out as continuous feed operations done usually by two people filling
uniformly around the circumference of the pipe. It is advisable to add some water with a pipe so
that the gravel flows down. If the gravel gets inside the temporary casing, the casing is slowly
pulled out and gentle well development is done to allow gravel to settle properly to a height of 3
meters above the top of the screen interval or the targeted water bearing formation. More gravel
is added with development if the gravel settles down.

Where possible emplacement should be by means of a conductor pipe, and a good supply of water
should be introduced with the gravel to prevent “bridging”. The tremie (conductor) pipe should be
raised gradually as the level of the gravel builds up. The pack should be capped with a clay seal to
prevent contamination. The annular space above this seal can be back-filled with inert drill cuttings.
The top 3 metres of the annular space should be grouted, leaving 0.4 meters at the top for
construction of the pump pedestal.

17. Sanitary seal

To provide an effective seal to the entry of contaminants, the upper 3 meters of the annular
space between the casing and the well wall shall be grouted using suitable prepared cement slurry
of 1.85-2.15 kg cement/litre. Grout is to be injected into the annulus in a single operation so that a
complete and continuous seal is achieved.

18. Development and cleaning of wells

Development and cleaning of the wells, in order to remove native silts, clay and drilling fluid
residues deposited on the well wall during the drilling process, shall be carried out by the
Contractor upon completion of the drilling and installation of casings. The borehole should be
Borehole Technical Specification Page 12 of 39
flushed until it is free of fines and turbidity for a continuous period / intermittently until the water
has fully cleared. Development should be done at the level of water strikes, on screens and raise
the water level, then let it fall back by switching the compressor on and off, while recording the
time taken during development.

Demonstration of borehole development

Whenever possible, natural well development must be used. If organic drilling fluids are used, they
shall be broken down chemically according to the manufacturer’s recommendations before or
during development. Cleaning may be carried out by airlift pumping, surging, backwashing or
jetting, to the approval of the Client. Clay de-segregation by means of Sodium
Hexametaphosphate (“Calgon”) treatment may, in some cases, also be called for by the
Client/Supervisor.

Developing shall be carried out by airlift pumping and surging, jetting and block surging, or other
techniques the contractor feels is more appropriate and efficient to suit the casing, hydro-
geological and drilling conditions prevailing in that borehole. All boreholes shall be presented for
pumping test free of any bridging or obstruction to the total depth.

Development shall continue for such time as directed by the Client or his representative and until
the Client is satisfied that the water is as free from fine particles as possible. Upon completion of
development, any accumulation of material shall be removed from the bottom of the well by
airlifting. It is anticipated that the total time for development shall not exceed six hours.

19. Pumping Tests

The Contractor shall perform test pumping to establish the performance and yield of the
borehole, and shall provide a suitable, self-contained, mobile test pumping unit, approved by the
Supervisor, for this purpose. The type of test will depend on the yield and the use of the borehole.
The Contractor shall ensure the provision of a suitable means of achieving the range of constant
flow rates specified by the Supervisor.Test pumping will be undertaken in each productive
borehole, as assessed by the Supervisor from the yields indicated during drilling.The depth of
installation of the pump for the test shall be above the lowest water strike.Test Pumping will take
place for at least 3-hours at a yield of 1000 litres per hour or as specificed in the contract
agreement. for all hand pumps unless otherwise directed by the Client or Supervisor.

Boreholes to be installed with motor driven pumps will initially be tested in the manner of step
tests with the initial step being at approximately1/3 of driller’s estimated yield; the 2nd, 3rd and
4thsteps will be approx. 2/3, 3/3 and 4/3 of driller’s estimated yield; additional steps may be
recommended by the supervisor and the last step should stress the borehole (steep drop in water
level). The duration of each step shall be 90 minutes and a minimum of three steps of increasing
discharge will be undertaken. The final step should lower the dynamic water level to
approximately three metres above the level of the pump. Discharge for each step should be kept
constant. On completion of the final step, the recovery of water level should be monitored by the

Borehole Technical Specification Page 14 of 39

Contractor until 95% recovery has been achieved, or until advised by the Supervisor. The well
should then be tested for 72hours at a constant discharge rate based on the step test results and
as mutually agreed upon by the Supervisor and the drilling contractor. After which the well should
be allowed to recover to 95% or as advised by the Supervisor.

Water levels shall be measured during test pumping by the Contractor by means of an electric
contact gauge (dipper), suitably calibrated such that measurements can be made to an accuracy of
5mm. The frequency of measurement shall be as specified on an agreed test pumping data form or
as otherwise determined by the Supervisor.

Discharge shall be measured by volumetric methods, or by means of some other approved

calibrated measuring device. Control of the discharge shall be provided by direct measurement into
a drum of known capacity, supplied by the Contractor and shall form part of his standard equipment
under this Contract. For yields greater than 15m3/hr the drum shall be of a 200 litres capacity. For
yields above 7m3/hr and less than 15m3/hr, the drum shall be of a 100 litres capacity. For yields less
than 7m3/hr, the bucket shall be of a 25 litres capacity. The stopwatch used must be able to read to
at least 1/10 of a second.

Step /variable rate test results graphically demonstrated.

During the test pumping, the discharged water must be handled and disposed of in an appropriate
manner to a point of overland drainage, sufficiently far from the borehole to prevent recharge of
the well under test. This distance shall be at least 100m downslope from the wellhead, but may be
reduced with the approval of the Supervisor, if the pumped aquifer is confined. Water discharge

Borehole Technical Specification Page 15 of 39

measurements shall be taken together with Electrical Conductivity (EC) and pH readings at
appropriate time intervals as instructed by the Supervisor.

During all testing operations, once the flow rate has been determined and preliminary adjustments
made, the measured discharge rate shall be maintained within 5% of the required rate for the
duration of the test or test stage. Persistent fluctuations beyond this tolerance will require
abortion of the test.

When continuous pumping at a uniform rate is specified, failure of the pump operation for a
period greater than one percent of the elapsed pumping time shall also require abortion of the
test. Any test which is aborted due to the reasons above shall be repeated, after full recovery of
the water level. No payment shall be made to the Contractor for aborted tests, nor for standing
time during water level recovery after aborted tests.

After completion of the test, the data shall be handed over to the Supervisor from all pumping
tests conducted at the borehole. These will show dates, water levels, discharge rates, electrical
conductivity values, times of starting and stopping the pump, changes in discharge, weather, and
other conditions that could affect the test data. Further details on test pumping are embedded in
the Manual for Test pumping.

20. Water level observations

The contractor shall apply appropriate electronic contact water level gauges for measuring water
levels in the wells. Measurements shall be made at predetermined intervals, depending on the
nature of the test. Well head arrangement shall permit these gauges to be inserted.

21. Water Quality Testing

Before the end of pumping test, water samples shall be collected for water quality analysis as
directed by the Supervisor. Water samples shall be taken for water quality testing by the
Contractor to MWE Laboratories, Makerere University; or other Laboratories approved by the
Employer. The water quality testing for physical and chemical analysiswill be done as per the
National Guidelines, or as specified by the Client. The samples should reach the laboratory within
6 hours from the time of collection and all major cations and anions should be analysed. Specific
parameters to be measured include:-

22. Capping of well

During well construction, installation, development and test pumping, the Contractor shall use all
reasonable measures to prevent entrance of foreign matter into the well. Well caps should be
used at all times. Wooden logs shall not be used to replace well caps. As a minimum, the
Contractor shall install a UII pedestal or a metallic casing with lockable cover plate bolted onto it or
a lockable metallic cage and the padlock keys handed-over to the responsible authority or as may be
directed by the Supervisor. The Contractor shall be responsible for any objectionable materials
that may fall into the well and any effect it may have on water quality or quantity until completion
of the Works and acceptance by the Client.

23. Acceptance of well

The Client shall accept the well upon satisfactory completion of all drilling operations, installation
of casings and screens, development works, pumping tests, presentation and approval of complete
drilling reports and logs and provided the well yield is above minimum recommended values.The
borehole shall only be acceptable by the Supervisor upon satisfactory completion of all drilling
operations as specified in the drilling contract agreement. The contractor will prepare a report
indicating key parameters of the boreholes constructed. These are, but not limited to the following:-
location of the borehole, casing depth, total depth, yield, etc. This report should include photos for
all the boreholes constructed. This shall be additional to the summary as in section 30.

24. Clearing the site

On completion of each borehole the site must be left clean and free from all debris, hydrocarbons
and waste, and all pits used during drilling back-filled to the satisfaction of the Supervisor. A site not
delivered clean may render the borehole unacceptable.

25. Standby time

The Contractor shall provide the Client with 48 hours’ notice before starting any works that need
to have the Client’s supervisor on site as well as 48 hours’ notice when mobilizing to the next site.

26. Concrete apron/platform casting and hand pump installation

Upon receipt of satisfactory water quality results and after being verified by the Client, the
contractor shall cast a concrete slab on the wells according to the specifications as detailed below.
The Contractor shall construct concrete platform for each successful borehole carrying out the
following activities in the following order:-

a) Excavate a square pit 760x760x400mm deep around casing pipe.

Borehole Technical Specification Page 18 of 39

 b) Place the stand assembly (pedestal) over casing pipe, ensuring third leg (corresponding to the
water tank spout pipe position) faces the proposed direction of the drain.
c) Making sure the pedestal is vertical, construct concrete in layers of 100mm up to top of
legs.

Demonstration of borehole casting

d) Pedestal assembly with a cover plate and level the ground around the pump pedestal.
e) Lay the mild steel shuttering (molds) and cast platform in mass concrete (mix 1:2:4/20mm agg.)
conforming to the dimensions and other specifications shown in the drawings.
f) Cure concrete for 3 days and protect it from excessive sunshine (using gunny bags and
thorny bushes, etc).
g) Plaster the platform and drain in cement screed to a smooth finish, then engrave the
borehole details provided by the Client on the platform.

In practical terms, 1:2:4/20mm means one volume of cement, two volumes of sand and four
volumes of aggregates of 20mm.

27. Hand pump equipment and installation

The Contractor shall supply pipes and pump parts, to cast and install India Mark II Deep well Hand
pump as per agreement, with cast iron brass sleeved open top cylinder assembly with extractable
plunger and foot valves assemblies or a similar specification according to the National standards.
Note that all pipes and rods must be of stainless steel of grade 304, or better, unless specified by
the Client. If conditions allow, where pH <6.5, and when directed by the Client, uPVC pipes may
be substituted for stainless steel.

ENVIRONMENTAL GUIDELINES AND CODE OF CONDUCT

Groundwater exploration and development work should be conducted in an environmentally and

socially sensitive and responsible manner. These guidelines are intended to ensure that all parties
are aware of the potential impacts of their activities, and carry out the work in an appropriate
way.

These guidelines are intended as a written statement of intent for Contractors to adhere to, and
to which recourse can be made in the event of a perceived undesirable impact. Contractors are
required to familiarize all employees with the content and spirit of these guidelines.

1. Camps

If and where field camps are needed, their construction and removal should be carried out along
the following lines:-

• Permission for camp areas must be obtained in writing from the relevant local
authorities.
• Suitable latrines and other sanitary arrangements at the camps and sites where work is in
progress should be availed to the crew. These facilities, if newly constructed, should be
suitably located to prevent pollution of ground water.
• Access roads and the camp area should be sited to cause minimum disturbance.
Where possible, no trees should be cut down, the use of firewood must be restricted
to dead wood only and should not conflict with the needs of the residents of the area.
• No permanent structures should be built at the camp.
• The camp should be removed; the site cleared and cleaned free of all debris, waste and
hydrocarbons at end of the Contract and local authorities should be shown the cleared
site.
• All rubbish (except for oils and other mechanical or chemical waste) should be buried or
removed.
• Waste oils, chemical and mechanical waste should be stored and removed to
Government/Municipal designated dumping sites or recycling plants.

2. Human Relations

• People, water, land and livestock must be respected.

• Access routes should not normally transgress gardens. But if found necessary,
permission to enter the gardens must be sought from the owner. Work should be
done with minimal damage to fences, trees or crops.
• All conflicts / disagreements and any agreements (use of water supply etc.,) no matter
how trivial, must be logged and dated, with details of persons involved and subject
Borehole Technical Specification Page 22 of 39
 matter, in a book for this purpose at the base camp.

3. Drillings Sites

• Each drilling site should be completely cleared of all waste after use. Drilling waste
(chippings and mud) should be buried. Rubbish, waste oil and chemicals should be
returned to the main camp for disposal as outlined in one (1) above.
• No spillage of oils or fuels should occur.
• On completion of each borehole the site must be left clean and free from all debris,
hydrocarbons and waste, and all pits used during drilling must back-filled to the
satisfaction of the Supervisor.
