At its core, any water wells are underground structures. They are designed to install various plumbing equipment inside them. Most of these devices are characterized by the shape of a rectangle or circle. Special concrete rings are used in the installation of such water wells.
Advantages of some models
Modern technology allows you to create water wells even from a material such as plastic. It is worth immediately mentioning their advantages:
1) The thickness is only a few centimeters, which means a small weight.
2) Easy to install.
3) Resistance even to chemicals, corrosion resistance.
4) Strength to withstand significant loads.
5) Water resistant.
Features of plastic structures
Before installing any well, the owner of the site needs to dig a pit, the characteristics of which would fit in size to the structure itself, known under the general name "water wells." The dimensions of the well should be 20-30 centimeters higher than the ground level. An additional formwork is installed around the perimeter of the pit if there are loose soils or a high level of groundwater is noticeable.
How to prepare a pillow
In any installation process, water wells cannot be mounted without a pillow, a special solid base. Only this allows the structure not to lean to the side, not to bend under the action of gravity. Typically, a pillow is a round slab of concrete, which may or may not be reinforced. The soil properties and the characteristics of the well itself determine what dimensions the slab itself will have.
Concrete wells: about features
First, create the foundation for the well. As soon as it dries, the rings themselves are introduced, which serve as the basis. Water
reinforced concrete wells require additional sealing of all joints so that the structure does not deform under the influence of the environment. Only the use of modern technologies will achieve absolute sealing, which is quite relevant in such conditions. The final step in the installation of the well becomes backfill, as in other cases.
Additional Well Information
We can conclude that the device 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 reliably connected to each other, which in itself provides sufficient protection. But still, modern experienced builders can not do without additional sealing to fix the result of work for the longest possible time. In addition, such a seal helps to ensure that moisture does not get inside at all throughout its life. The installation process itself remains almost identical for all types of structures.
