Well Drilling

Installation of water well with rotary drilling rig

Wells are drilled and constructed for a range of applications including:

• Dewatering & Groundwater Control
• Remediation & Treatment
• Testing Services including pumping and thermal response testing
• Geothermal for heating and cooling used within Ground Source Energy Systems

Whatever the purpose, it is essential that the wells are designed and constructed safely and effectively.

Design

The wells need to be designed according to the best location, depth and pumping application. Drilling rigs and ancillary equipment are carefully selected according to the type of ground conditions, well specification and any site access constraints.

Installation

Common rotary drilling techniques use fully cased systems, open-hole drilling with a mud or water flush, and down-the-hole air hammers. Where conditions suit, cable percussion drilling techniques are often used to supplement our operations using experienced water-well drillers capable of drilling at large diameters.
