Amazing Fastest Well Digging by Hand - Extremely Ingenious Construction Workers

I'll be thinking of these hard workers every time i go to my kitchen sink, open the faucet and get a glass of cool clear refreshing water....respect ❤😪

Digging in this type of soil by hand is HARD, backbreaking work, and all done without the benefit of heavy machinery. Looks like quality workmanship. Respect from the United States of America.

In Malaysia we place a precast reinforced concrete (RC) cylinder upright on the site. We start digging on the inner ground and the heavy cylinder will lower by itself into the ground. When the cylinder is level with the ground place another cylinder on top and so on until clean water at the deeper level is obtained. Water will seep in between the cylinders into the well. The top few cylinder joints can be joined with sealant to prevent dirty water of top levels seeping in. No danger of wall collapse.

I was a power lineman and working in the Irvine area and getting ready to set an hundred foot steel pole. Forty feet of it went into the ground. While digging the hole with a well digger we broke through the ground and there was a rushing river at the bottom of the hole. Frankly it scared the heck out of me. If you fell into that no one would ever see you again. We had to dump abound 20 yards of concrete to bring it up to where we could set the pole. We set the pole and encased it in foam.

My first job in 1968 was digging 8 foot deep and 3 ft. wide ditches for water services in Calgary Alberta Canada. The pay was $1.10 an hour. I could usually dig 8 to 10 feet long in clay a day. These fellas have my respect ! ! !

UN believably HARD work! Hats off to these men! I have always wondered how on earth this was accomplished! Very clever indeed!Thank you!

Here in Central Australia, my ancestors dug their well with a different principal, the didn't just go straight down but in an angle, this way they would create a staircase that goes down to the water which was covered by grass as a filtration system, and a canopy would be placed over the well to keep the water cold during the summer, people would come to the well for days until they move to another location, there they would dig up another well in the similar way as the first one, now days we can't dig wells anymore because of the feral animals that was introduced by colonisers, these animals would destroy the well and the most precious resource know to both man and beast, like the video 👍 keep it up😁🇦🇺

Using those folding sacks is a lot more efficient than filling buckets like most builders would use. Good idea to speed things up and save a lot of shovel work.

Take a long look, ladies. Those three badasses are what we call "men." They don't get hung up by pronouns or their precious little fee fees. Instead of wasting time and emotional energy on nonsense, they actually get things done. Mad respect to those guys.

А если видео ускорить еще в 2 раза и обрезать его тоже в 2 раза, то они выкопают колодец ещё быстрее (в 4 раза)

Wonderful work on the wells. Just amazing. I saw so many techniques that were used build these. The small can of water on the brick to check that it was level, the stick across the wall at it's center using the marked shorter stick to keep the round wall evenly round, the rope around the larger pipe for the 3 guys to turn the pipe and join it to the lower pipe. Most exciting video I have seen on well building. 😄

My father and I here in Dubbo western nsw Australia dug a well in the backyard for veg garden. 65 feet deep 4 feet diameter before we hit water and then dug another 10 feeg with the aid of a water pump.. That was a job !

So much can be learned by doing manual labor as a young person. The benefits are physical and mental, and sometimes, it becomes clear that your energy has to be put in another direction.

When I was 10 my grandfather and I dug our well to 50’ by hand, we used a post hole auger till it got too soupy, a 3’ stick of pipe at a time, then we went to the barn and built a Can-D bailer and a rock breaker chisel pipe, the well made 25 gallons a minute of the nicest water!

I never would have thought of using a spade for digging. Ingenious indeed!

We ( father started business ) had bore well for water drilling business in India from 1965 to 1989, intially up to 1984 we did all by manual drilling without any power machinery then we bought rotary machines and one impact machine build ourself.Our south gujarat area gets good sand water at level of 40 feet to 170 feet.we did for home use to agriculture, small village water works etc, installing centrifugal, jet,hand ,submercible pumps. This guys were digging wide well initially so that simple centrifugal pump can be used at bottom of well as centrifugal pump can not suck water below 30 feet.

so amazing and ingenious of these guys to use their muscles and backbreaking labor to dig a well by hand. Bravo, mates!

Чрезвычайно изобретательные строители?))) Бери больше - кидай дальше!))) Великое изобретение!)))

Just imagine digging in that hole with no ladder then all of a sudden the guy on top ask you did you sleep with my wife.

Бедные люди,какой тяжелый труд.Всю жизнь на лопате,дай им Бог здоровья.
