What To Look For When Choosing A Drilling Company

By John Wright

Some of the services offered by a professional drilling contractor include aquifer storage and recovery wells. Enormous diameter production wells are customarily installed for agriculture and public water supply.

Deep injection wells for disposal of treated domestic wastewater, plus chloride profile, monitor and other test wells also are part of the repertoire. Environmental wells can be constructed to extract hazardous waste and to observe the subsurface movement of unsafe waste plumes.

Some of the services it is easy to get from a drilling contractor include aquifer storage and recovery wells, which are a specialty of many corporations. Enormous diameter production wells are routinely installed for agriculture and public water supply. Deep injection wells for disposal of treated domestic wastewater, plus chloride profile, monitor and other test wells also are a part of the inventory. Environmental wells have been built to extract hazardous waste and to observe the subsurface movement of hazardous waste plumes.

Often it is definitely worth searching out a varied rotary drilling organization offering unique mud and air rotary drilling services to a range of industries. Service groups can include water supply, environmental, energy, mining, and pump services and rehabilitation. Drilling methods can include air hammer, air rotary, dual tube reverse air rotary, triple tube air rotary, odex-centris casing drivers, mud rotary, dual tube flooded reverse rotary, horizontal drilling and directional drilling services. A well established company can provide tooling for hole diameters from 5 inches to 60 inches, with depths beyond 5,000 feet.

These services include environmental (monitoring, vapour extraction, remediation wells), water wells (domestic and massive diameter wells up to 30-inch diameter and 1,250 feet), geotechnical (SPT, soil survey, piezometer), construction (caissons up to 8-foot diameter, cathodic protection) and pump services (up to 600 Hp and 5,000 gpm, large production well systems, remediation systems).

The management and supervisory staff of many companies have many years of experience in the water well industry. In this example they will frequently provide complete water well systems on a turnkey basis, offering the all-inclusive range of services required to provide expertly designed, constructed and maintained community and economic water wells. These contractors will also infrequently have the capability to provide each component of a water well system, including test hole drilling, well surrounding and screen selection and installation, gravel packing, grout sealing, well development and testing, pump selection, and kit sales and installation.

If you choose smartly, you will almost certainly get your drilling work done precisely as you hope for.
