This article considers the requirements for pumps in specialist applications including remediation projects where the ground is contaminated and environments that are potentially hazardous, chemically reactive or difficult. Geoquip has also seen a rise in requests for custom made and bespoke pumps for industrially and environmentally sensitive applications as the drive towards tighter regulation continues.
The ability to see into a deep borehole has been an aspiration for well drillers, well owners, and geologists for hundreds of years. Whether inspecting a borehole to identify a problem, attempting to retrieve a lost tool, presenting the results of a well cleaning treatment or confirming the depth of a newly drilled borehole, the need for visual inspection is crucial. This is particularly so in today’s market, where value-added service and quality control are becoming increasingly important.
Groundwater wells are common to many civil engineering schemes and their operational performance can play a crucial role in the successful delivery of a project, whether used for construction dewatering, alternative water supplies for facilities or any other application. Whatever the application, the well performance must be optimised and high levels of operational efficiency and service availability achieved.
Controlling your pumping equipment from wherever you are in the world – and whatever the time – is now a simple and affordable reality. Geoquip Water Solutions considers the benefits that wireless technology has brought to the monitoring and management of pumping equipment.
Preene Groundwater Consulting and Geoquip Water Solutions were invited to the XVI ECSMGE Conference in September 2015 to present a paper on Managing the Clogging of Groundwater Wells in Civil Engineering Schemes. This article summarises their findings...
