( Amalgamation of IS 2800 Part 1 and 2 )

New Standard from Last Update.

1. Scope

This code applies to drilling, construction and testing of medium to high capacity, filter packed tubewells drilled by rotary/percussion methods and used for agriculture, drinking water, industrial and other relatedpurposes. Standards for high capacity tubewells vary considerably from one part of the country to another. To a large extent, the hydro-geological conditions and well drilling methods dictate what materials or procedures are best. Thus, no single standard tubewell specification/code can be framed because of complex array of variables. In light of above, this code gives general guidance as regards to drilling, design, construction and testing procedures for installation of tubewells. The design engineer should make sure that each option selected does not conflict with other parts of tube well design or construction method.
