agree  Tony M: Yes, 'buses' are the big concrete 'interlocking' pipe sections, which in their larger sizes are commonly used for creating / lining wells.

ring-lined well


Explanation:
Ring Well Drilling that we do is by using simple tools in weathered rock, overburden or sedimentary formations. The well is then lined to the aquifer with ***concrete rings***. Our process of Ring Well Drilling includes excavating a shaft, manually and installing a casing where needed.
