Pushing the Limits: Solving Drilling and Pump Challenges
Pushing the Limits: Solving Drilling and Pump Challenges
Presented on Thursday, December 11, 2014
Veteran drilling contractors know that challenges related to well construction are not always limited to the actual drilling—they may also “pop up” pre- and post-project. Two veteran water well contractors will each share two specific instances where they were confronted with challenges other than the garden variety. They address the utilization of different drilling methods included flooded reverse circulation on irrigation and residential wells and dealing with challenging site conditions.
