Shitan Machinery Supports Rural Revitalization — GK‑Series Water‑well Drilling Rigs Drill “Well of Happiness” for A Village in Hebei

In 2025, a remote mountain village in Hebei Province celebrated a major milestone: a 220‑meter‑deep “Well of Happiness” successfully yielded water, thoroughly resolving the village’s long‑standing seasonal water shortage problem. The successful drilling of this well received full support from the GK‑series water‑well drilling rig manufactured by Jinzhou Shitan Machinery Equipment Co., Ltd.

Project Background

Located in mountainous terrain, the village long suffered from insufficient water supply during dry winter‑spring seasons and turbid water quality in rainy summers. Residents could hardly secure reliable access to quality drinking water. To fundamentally address this livelihood issue, the local government launched a rural drinking‑water safety project.

Equipment Selection

After extensive comparisons, the project contractor finally selected the GK‑180 water‑well drilling rig from Shitan Machinery. Purpose‑built for hydrological well drilling, this model features high drilling efficiency, stable operation and strong reliability. It is particularly suitable for drilling operations under complex mountainous terrains and diverse geological conditions.

Construction Highlights

- The rig maintained stable drilling performance through pebble beds and weathered rock and other complex formations.

- Optimized drilling technology was adopted to effectively control borehole verticality.

- A full set of supporting drilling tools including drill rods and drill bits manufactured by Shitan Machinery delivered one‑stop supply.

Project Outcomes

After intensive construction, the 220‑meter deep well was completed, gushing out clear groundwater. Boasting sufficient daily water output and fine water quality, the well not only solves drinking‑water difficulties for all villagers, but also provides a stable water source for surrounding farmland irrigation. It is affectionately named the “Well of Happiness” by local residents.

Shitan Machinery will keep focusing on livelihood‑oriented projects such as rural drinking‑water safety, and contribute to rural revitalization with reliable drilling equipment.
