If the sand goes down to a source of water, it is sure possible to use water pressure to blow a hole for a new casing. But you need a lot of water to do it. We used the method on sand to blow holes 18 ft deep for steel Z section break water installation on Lake Michigan. The pump was a 12 hp 2 inch discharge. The connection was using fire hose connected to a 4' long 2" steel pipe. The holes were blown to about 25 inches in diameter, then the steel was lowered into it locking to the last piece. Continuous flow is necessary, I would think the pipe would need to be premade as long as you wanted the well to be in depth. Once blown to depth, a sand point of 100 mesh of 1.5 inch diameter was driven out the bottom against a drive coupling that stops the point from extending past tha casing. Driving a well in sand might be an easier option, Utube the process for that. Jim
