To install a well in sections, a metal pipe with an attached C-clamp would be placed next to the well. The bottom section of the well would be inserted in the C-clamp and the next section of the well threaded onto the top of the bottom section. Then the bottom section would be lowered down the hole and the already attached 2nd section held in the C-clamp while the next shallower section is added. Installing the well through the casing. The well is placed near the center of the casing and advanced to the bottom of the augered hole.
Minor pressure is applied to seat the well firmly in the bottom of the hole.

Note that it protrudes high above the ground surface and does not stay centered in the casing on its own. Adding the filter pack. Here we are adding commercially-prepared coarse filter sand to the annular space around the well.
