As many experienced environmental consultants have discovered, drilling plans are an easily overlooked but vitally important component in the success of a newly installed remediation system. Drilling plans can include: drilling method selection, drilling tooling selection, pipe size selection, well screen target depth identification, safety procedures, equipment staging locations, well layout, investigation derived waste management, site-specific protocol, QA/QC, and much more. Traditional vertical remediation well installations and Directional Technologies’ horizontal remediation well installations adopt different approaches to developing and implementing drilling plans. The consequences of those differences can affect the level of success of your remediation project. See the chart below to find out just how much drilling plans can differ between different types of remediation system installation technologies.
