A Full Day of Field Demonstrations, Training Sessions, and Manufacturer and Supplier Exhibits at the PGWA Well Demonstration Site
What will be demonstrated?
Proper Residential Well Construction: The 2008 program will feature a step-by-stem demonstration of the proper way to construct a sanitary residential water well. The key element to be demonstrated is the grouting of the well casing to protect the quality of the ground water produced by the well AND to protect the quality of the ground water in the aquifer.
Hard facing of drill bits and stabilizers: Learn how to extend the life of your drill bits and other steel tools by reducing abrasive wear. A training session will be held under the tent. You will learn how to buy the correct composition hard facing rods, and how to get the maximum life from the hard facing that you apply. DOT compliance training: Using a large rig-tender truck, the instructor will conduct a simulated DOT "walk-around" inspection. Learn what to look for before you leave the yard, and increase your understanding of the Department of Transportation regulations that apply to drill rigs and rig-tender trucks. This session is designed to help you avoid receiving citations and fines on the road.
