Deep Bedrock Wells for Municipal Use: A Series on the Process - #7) Water Quality Testing

Deep Bedrock Wells for Municipal Use: A Series on the Process - #7) Water Quality Testing

Welcome to the seventh and final installment in our well drilling series following the construction of Monument Well 10 by Layne, A Granite Company, and Lytle Water Solutions! In our previous blogs we covered the borehole drilling, geophysics/well design, well installation, gravel packing/grouting, well development, and well testing. Now we move on to the water quality testing of the well.

Deep Bedrock Wells for Municipal Use: A Series on the Process - #6) Well Testing

Welcome to the sixth installment in our well drilling series following the construction of Monument Well 10 by Layne, A Granite Company, and Lytle Water Solutions! In our first five blogs we covered the borehole drilling, geophysics/well design, well installation, gravel packing/grouting, and development. Now we will move on to the testing of the well.

Deep Bedrock Wells for Municipal Use: A Series on the Process - #5) Well Development

Welcome to the fifth installment in our well drilling series following the construction of Monument Well 10 by Layne, A Granite Company, and Lytle Water Solutions! In the first blog we talked about how the borehole for the well is drilled. In the second blog we discussed the basics of geophysical logging and well design. In the third blog we discussed the installation of the well itself in the borehole, while the fourth blog discussed the installation of the gravel pack and grout seal. Now we will move on to the development of the well in this fifth blog of the series.

Deep Bedrock Wells for Municipal Use: A Series on the Process - #4) Well Gravel Packing & Grouting

Welcome to the fourth installment in our well drilling series following the construction of Monument Well 10 by Layne, A Granite Company and Lytle Water Solutions! In the first blog we talked about how the borehole for the well is drilled. In the second blog we discussed the basics of geophysical logging and well design, and in the third blog we discussed the installation of the well casing and screen in the borehole. Now that the well has been set to total depth in the borehole, it is time to go over the process of finishing the well completion with the gravel packing and grouting process.

Deep Bedrock Wells for Municipal Use: A Series on the Process - #2) Geophysical Logging & Well Design

This is the second installment in the LWS well drilling series. In the first blog we talked about how the borehole for the well is drilled. Once the drilling is complete to the total depth of the borehole, it is geophysically logged. In this blog we will discuss the basics of geophysical logging and the well design obtained from the logs.

Deep Bedrock Wells for Municipal Use: A Series on the Process - #1) Drilling

In 2021 LWS had a well drilling project in the Town of Monument with drilling company Layne, a Granite Company, to drill an Arapahoe aquifer well for municipal use. During this project LWS documented the process and produced blogs regarding seven distinct steps of well drilling as they occurred. The processes covered in this series are…READ MORE HERE!
