Water wells: features of their device

At its core, any water wells are underground structures. They are designed to install a variety of water-type equipment inside them. For these devices, most of them are characterized by the shape of a rectangle or circle. Special concrete rings are used for the installation of such water wells.

Advantages of some models

Modern technologies allow creating water wells even from such material as plastic. It is worth mentioning their advantages:

1) The thickness is only a few centimeters, which means a small weight.

2) Ease of installation.

3) Resistance even to chemical reagents, corrosion resistance.

4) Allowing to withstand significant load strength.

5) Water resistant.

Features of constructions from plastic

Before installing any well, the owner of the site is required to excavate a pit, the characteristics of which would fit the size of the structure known as the "water wells". Dimensions of the well at the same time should exceed the ground level by 20-30 centimeters. An additional formwork is installed along the perimeter of the excavation, if there are loose soils or a high level of groundwater is visible.

How to prepare a pillow

At any installation process, water wells can not be mounted without a cushion, a special solid foundation. Only this allows the design not to lean to the side, do not bend under the influence of gravitational forces. Usually a pillow is a round slab of concrete that can be reinforced, or may not be. The properties of the soil and the characteristics of the well itself determine the size of the plate itself.

Concrete wells: about the features

First, create a foundation for the well. As soon as it dries, the rings themselves, which serve as the basis, are introduced. Piped reinforced concrete wells require additional sealing of all joints, so that the structure is not deformed under the influence of the environment. Only the use of modern technology will achieve absolute sealing, which is quite relevant in such conditions. The final stage of the installation of the well becomes filling, as in other cases.

Additional information about wells

It can be concluded that the installation of water wells of each type has its own characteristics. For example, reinforced concrete structures are distinguished by affordable prices, ease of operation and installation. The rings are securely connected to each other, which in itself provides sufficient protection. But nevertheless modern skilled builders do not do without additional sealing to fix the result of work for the longest time possible. In addition, such a sealing helps to make sure that moisture does not get inside during the whole service life. The installation process itself remains almost identical for all types of structures.
