DEFINITIONS Tapered Plug Tapered neoprene plug used as an interim water controlling device, has an R32 internal thread which requires installation with a drill rod with an R32 male tip. Packer Device which is installed into a drill hole for the purpose of controlling water and/or injecting a product into the hole. Standpipe Stand pipes are a steel pipe varying in length, generally from 2m to 4m, sometimes longer (depending on the application) and may vary in diameter typically from 60mm to 100mm.The stand pipes are used for the same purpose as mechanical packers, to control water. However having a water control device already installed prior to drilling, allows faster reaction times if high pressure water is intersected whilst drilling. The drill string can immediately be retrieved from the hole and the ball valve shut off.
