Recovery Wells (Extraction Wells)
When contamination is known to be present, Spartan Drilling installs recovery wells to pump and treat the contaminated water.
Spartan Drilling Recovery Well Installation Process
The installation of a Recovery Well requires experienced drillers to construct and install the entire formation to produce water at its full potential. Spartan Drilling is equipped with top-quality/professional drillers and strong/dependable equipment. The appropriate procedures performed before insertion of the well includes the following:
• A proper drilling method
• The correct installation of screen and casing
• Determining the right size screen slot and filter pack
• Appropriate development and surface completion for the sites condition
Purpose of Recovery Wells (Extraction Wells)
Recovery wells are installed when contamination is present in groundwater. Groundwater is the source of about 37% of water that flows through counties and cities to supply households and businesses. It can easily be contaminated by man-made products such as: gasoline, oil road salts and chemicals. All factors produce unfit and unsafe groundwater for human use. Recovery wells stop this transaction from occurring. When a recovery well (extraction well) is installed, it extracts these pollutants on a long term or short basis. The well can vary in size from 1” to 8”, which all depends on the site conditions, groundwater depth and drilling method used. Once pollutants are free from the ground and tested, the recovery process proceeds. Contamination is treated and disposed.
Recovery Wells vs. Monitoring Wells
There are a variety wells that have a specific purpose. Although Recovery Wells and Monitoring Wells are both used to retrieve and test contaminated water, there are major differences. A monitoring well is mainly used for subsurface water testing a specific zone. These wells measure water levels and retrieve samples that will be given to a lab for testing. Recovery wells are used to extract and dispose all unwanted contamination. A monitor well may assess the contamination and let you know it is present, but a recovery well is here to fix the issue.
At Spartan Drilling we know every recovery well is unique, it requires special training/planning and certified equipment. We want to help secure your safety from contaminated groundwater. Please give us a call and schedule today.
