Water Well Construction: Dependable Groundwater Systems
- Dependable water supply: For ranches and rural properties, a properly drilled and maintained well isn’t just convenient — it’s essential. Properties depend on reliable, clean water.
- Detailed site assessment: Construction starts with a geologic analysis to determine the best drilling locations and depths, ensuring access to sustainable aquifers.
- Quality construction: Careful planning, casing and grout selection and pump installation are critical to prevent contamination, poor pressure and costly repairs.
- Long‑term care: Routine maintenance and repairs prevent mineral buildup and sediment from clogging components, protecting pressure and water quality.
A well’s reliability begins long before the drill bit turns. Scott’s team assesses site geology to target productive aquifers, then specifies casing, grout and pump components that will stand up to decades of use. A professionally built well provides the reliable water supply rural properties require. Regular maintenance and timely repairs keep systems running efficiently, protecting both water quality and property value.
-
Pump Service & Installation: Right Pump, Reliable Flow
- Proper pump sizing: Selection is based on flow and total dynamic head, not just horsepower; design point matches demand and depth.
- Submersible pump expertise: From small domestic units to high-horsepower models for large wells.
- Installation and repair: Wiring, pressure tanks, controls, diagnostics and replacements handled end-to-end.
- Preventive maintenance: Inspection and cleaning to extend life and improve efficiency.
Performance starts with the right curve. We size the pump to your design point, install it cleanly with proper controls, then keep it tuned with routine checks so your system delivers steady pressure day after day.
-
Environmental Drilling & Dual-Tube Sampling: High-Integrity Cores
- Continuous cores: Dual-tube systems collect undisturbed soil and groundwater intervals.
- Reduced contamination: Outer casing isolates intervals and stabilizes the bore.
- Adaptable: Techniques adjusted for loose or saturated formations to maintain bore stability.
- Proper abandonment: Borings are grouted and sealed to protect groundwater.
For investigations that demand defensible data, we use dual-tube sampling to preserve stratigraphy and minimize cross-contamination, then seal borings to spec for long-term groundwater protection.
-
Dewatering Wells: Dry, Stable Excavations
- Groundwater control: Rings of drilled wells lower the water table around your dig.
- Casing and screens: Filter packs allow inflow while retaining formation.
- Submersible pumps: Each well creates a cone of depression for reliable drawdown.
- Construction-grade: Ideal for basements, bridge piers, tunnels and large pours.
We design and install deep-well systems that keep the work zone dry and safe. Proper spacing, screened intakes and matched pumps hold groundwater at bay so crews can pour, form and build on schedule.
-
Water Treatment & Filtration: Cleaner Water, Protected Plumbing
- Hardness and iron: Ion-exchange softeners remove calcium, magnesium and iron.
- System benefits: Prevents scale, extends appliance life and improves taste and feel.
- Care and upkeep: Monitor salt, prevent bridges and clean resin as needed.
- Add-on filters: Iron, carbon and RO options for specific concerns.
We start with your water chemistry, then pair softening and filtration to solve the problem at the source—protecting fixtures and delivering better-tasting water throughout the home.
-
Monitoring Wells: Reliable Groundwater Data
- Small-diameter installs: Direct-push wells reduce disturbance and cuttings.
- Pre-packed screens: Correct filter placement with tremie-set seals.
- Representative sampling: Developed wells provide accurate samples and slug-test data.
- Versatile: Supports water-level tracking, quality sampling and hydraulic testing.
We install and develop monitoring points that produce clean, repeatable results, enabling confident decisions for compliance, remediation and long-term site management.
-
Hollow Stem Auger Drilling: Clean Access, Quality Samples
- Temporary casing: The auger’s hollow core keeps the bore open for sampling.
- No drilling mud: Eliminates additives for cleaner environmental samples.
- Depth and productivity: Effective through unconsolidated deposits to significant depths.
- Multi-use: Soil sampling, small-diameter wells and geotechnical investigations.
HSA rigs deliver speed and sample quality. We advance the hollow string, collect undisturbed material and set wells without fluids, then backfill and seal per specification.
-
Irrigation Wells: High-Capacity Water Solutions
- Vee-Wire® stainless screens: Lower entrance velocity, resist plugging and limit sand.
- Efficient and eco-friendly: Lower utility costs; chlorine-free groundwater.
- Automation-ready: Supports timers, zones and moisture-based control.
- Long-term value: Saves time and can increase property value.
Built for volume and durability, our irrigation wells pair premium screens with sound construction so fields, turf and landscapes get consistent water at a predictable cost.
-
Industrial & Municipal Wells: Engineered for Demand
- Reliable supply: Deep drilled wells for constant, clean, high-volume water.
- Fit-for-purpose: Well type and construction tailored to depth and water quality.
- Lifecycle support: Pump installs, wellhead protection and scheduled maintenance.
- Compliance-minded: Water testing and filtration integrated to meet standards.
We design and build production wells for plants, districts and towns, then keep them performing with preventive programs that control costs and safeguard water quality.
-
Recreational & Duck-Flood Wells: Water Where You Need It
- Sports-field irrigation: Clean, cost-effective well water for turf.
- Campground supply: Potable well systems for remote parks and RV facilities.
- Wetland management: Large-diameter PVC wells sized to flood efficiently.
- Care and rehab: Inspections and rehabilitation restore declining performance.
From fields and parks to duck impoundments, we drill and equip wells that deliver dependable water on schedule, with construction and maintenance plans that fit the site.
-
Well Rehabilitation: Recover Lost Yield
- Restore performance: Corrects incrustation, bio-fouling and screen plugging.
- When to act: A ~25% drop in yield or specific capacity signals rehab.
- Professional assessment: Downhole inspection to pinpoint causes.
- Proven methods: Chemical treatments plus mechanical cleaning for durable results.
Declining flow isn’t the end of a well. We diagnose the cause, then combine chemical and mechanical cleaning to dissolve, dislodge and remove buildup—often restoring capacity and extending useful life.
-
Foundation & Billboard Foundations: Boreholes Built to Spec
- Large-diameter drilling: Deep, straight boreholes for structural supports.
- Load transfer: Reach stable strata or bedrock for long-term stability.
- Versatile: Utility poles, billboards, bridge piers and heavy structures.
- Coordinated delivery: Crews work with engineers for diameter, depth and tolerances.
We drill on-spec, clean boreholes for structural foundations—coordinating equipment, layout and schedule so steel, cages and concrete go in smoothly and meet engineering requirements.
