Water Well Development

Salt Spring Water Well Efficiency
With any well drilling method on Salt Spring Island, the permeability of the formation around the borehole is reduced.
As an example, with the cable-tool method, compaction and clay-smearing occurs.
With the wet-rotary drilling method, fluid in-filtrates the aquifer and when reverse circulation is used, water that is loaded down with fines can often obstruct the formation as a vacuum effect occurs around the drill bit.
Water Well Development
Well development is demanding and critical for the best quality of water well construction to maximize the efficiency of a drilled water well by rehabilitating the aquifer after the disruption caused by the well drilling process.
Fine-particles surrounding a well screen must be removed from the area to increase the permeability of the aquifer, with the use-of-air and our unique surge methods Salt Spring Island Well Drilling can enhance water well development procedures on the island.
Water Well Screen Design & Selection
We understand the significance of well-screen design, careful selection of a well-screen is, without doubt, the most important consideration when constructing an efficient water well! A properly selected well-screen is designed to serve two basic purposes: to allow the unobstructed entry of clean water free from sediment into the well, and to permit a maximum flow to the formation for water well development procedures.
