Part III

I. CAPACITY OF DRILLING TECHNOLOGY - EQUIPMENT 1. Hydrogeological exploration drilling Hydrogeological exploration drilling aims at supporting hydrogeological study

by taking soil samples for lithological analysis, creating holes for well logging and carrying out pumping tests.

Exploration drilling is carried out by drilling rigs such as YPБ-3AM-500, YPБ-2,5A...Division has capacity to drill exploration wells with core to the depth of 500m.

2. Production drilling Besides direct circulation

drilling method, for production drilling, at that time, Division mainly uses reverse circulation drilling method. This is the drilling technology suitable for water wells with large capacity, drilling in soft sediments as in Nam Bo area. Reverse circulation drilling technology is applied widely in developed countries because of many advantages in comparison with others drilling methods, these advantages are:

- Large diameter wells can be drilled quickly.

- Aquifers are relatively undisturbed during drilling because of using fluid having small gravity.

- Well are straight and pumps can be easily installed. - Improve well efficiency.

Diagram of RCD

Reverse circulation drilling is carried out by using drilling rig DRILLCON, innovated 1БA-15B and YPБ-3AM-500 rigs (done by Division). These drilling rigs can drill production wells with depth of 500m, diameter of hole to 800mm.

3. Drilling for geotechnical investigation Geotechnical investigation drilling is performed by using drilling rigs such as

XY-100, XY-1A, YГБ-50M. These drilling rigs can drill holes to the depth of 100 to 150m. Division can realize drilling investigation in river, lake, shallow sea and make testing in field and in laboratory according to the ASTM, BS…standards

II. CAPACITY OF GEOPHYSIC TECHNOLOGY AND EQUIPMENT 1. Well logging The digital well logging station MGX-II made in USA has been used for

determining geological strata, location of aquifers and aquitars and their quality due to interpretation some parameters such as: resistivity of formation nearby the hole, resistivity of drilling fluid, SP, gamma, temperature, diameter of hole....It can do logging in hole with depth to 700m.

Well logging equipment and an example of result 2. Vertical electric sounding (VES) Vertical electric sounding is used for determining the boundary between soft

sediment and bed rock and also the boundary between zones containing fresh-saline water by area and depth of distribution, it can also define potential water bearing location in soft sediment, basalt, weathered and fractured rock. Besides, VES is used for engineering geological investigation and environmental research. Layout of poles Equipment ABEM SAS 4000

map of actual state in construction planning in many scales.

Design, perform surveying work for industry and domestic construction, construction of transportation and irrigation, monitoring of variation of construction.

Digital mapping by using specialist software such as MapInfo Microsation, Arcview...according to the standard issued by General Department of Land Survey

Creating topographical map for industry and domestic construction, construction of transportation, irrigation and bridge designing, urban planning. Creating land surveying map for certification land and house using in Ho Chi Minh city and others provinces.

All the work has been done by using equipment having high accuracy such as GPS and devices made in Japan, Germany. GPS Trimble 4600 Surveying in field

Data processing by specific software

IV. ANALYSING AND TESTING Division has a laboratory for analyzing water, soil samples, including: total content, microelement content, soil pollution, determining physico-mechanical parameters of soil samples, clay and material for construction. Analyzing and testing are done by using modern equipment and according to the standard selected by client.

V. INFORMATION AND DATA PROCESSING 1. Apply specific software for information processing and managing

ground water Apply specific software such as Visual MODFLOW: MODFLOW, MODPATH and

MT3D; GMS (Groundwater Modeling System): (MODFLOW, MT3DMS, RT3D, SEAM3D, MODPATH, SEEP2D, FEMWAER, NUFT and UTCHEM); Rockwork, Groundwater for Windows; Aquifer Test, MapInfo...for data processing and ground water studying and management.

Specific software and their application

2. Devices for information

Division is now equipped with computer network system with latest version, internet ADSL, devices for data processing, printing such as digital table, printer size A0, color laser printers...so products of Division are always of high quality and best form. Digital table Color printer A0
