NOTE . . . But What You Can Do for Your Community

EDITOR’S

veryone can finish the quote that starts “Ask not what your country can do for you . . .”

The conclusion, of course, to the remark by then-President John F. Kennedy is “but what you can do for your country.” The sentence was part of his enduring inaugural address 50 years ago and seemed to signal a movement of people helping people.

Seeing footage of the just 14-minute speech recently had me thinking about the impact of the statement. His directive was certainly heard. A few months later he signed an executive order that established the U.S. Peace Corps, an organization that thrives today with thousands of Americans signing up to meet the mission of helping people.

The groundwater industry has always existed with the same directive. Professionals working in the groundwater industry help neighbors in their community every day by giving them access to life-sustaining water.

The industry also answers the call when the need arises overseas. I was told by a member of the National Ground Water Association that he recently posted on an online database the desire of an acquaintance working abroad who wants to aid an initiative for those in need of water. He received responses instantly from industry professionals around the country.

And who can forget the amazing efforts of multiple contractors and manufacturers assisting with the rescue of the trapped miners last year in Chile.

Yes, the groundwater industry is always there for people in need.

E

It’s a message you should preach to your community. Ground Water Awareness Week takes place March 6-12 and you should take the opportunity that week to tell your story and the story of your profession to the individuals around you.

Groundwater is essential to the health and well-being of humanity and the environment. Let people know it. Speak to a civic group or at a nearby school.

Place an article or advertisement in your community newspaper. Run a spot on your local radio station. There are countless ways to get your message out there.

If you don’t think you know how to do so, don’t worry. NGWA’s Web site has “Ground Water Awareness Tools” in its members’ only area that features sample letters, articles, tools, radio commercials, and more. All you need to do is add in your personal information and you’re all set.

Doing so will not only help educate the public, but put you, your business, and your industry in a positive light.

And that is a win-win-win situation.

How often do you see those?

A family member recently came to me and told me he is thinking about answering Kennedy’s directive and applying to the Peace Corps. I was touched by his desire to aid others, but not surprised by the picture. I see such kindness every day in this industry.

will be required to comply with the new standard. Price writes how this legislation affects the groundwater industry by speaking with water systems manufacturers, a water well contractor, and a water consultant.

The 2011 Water Well Journal Buyers Guide starts on page 56. Viewing this is essential if you are considering purchasing new equipment or tools. The guide is divided into four sections. The first is an index of products and services.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s followed by a directory of manufacturers, a directory of suppliers and manufacturer representatives, and a listing of trade names and their manufacturers. The index features a detailed list of products and services used in the industry followed by the companies that manufacture or supply them.

The directories feature complete contact information, making it easier when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to make that next purchase.

Price also caught up with Mike H. Mehmert in this monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Water Well Journal Q&A. Price talks with Mehmert about how his 2010 National Ground Water Research and Educational Foundation (NGWREF) McEllhiney Lecture Series went in the Q&A on page 30. NGWREF is operated by the National Ground Water Association as a 501(c)(3) public foundation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You Drill a Holeâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;You Develop a Wellâ&#x20AC;? was the title of Mehmertâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2010 NGWREF McEllhiney Lecture. The lecture and discussion examined what the negative drilling Mike H. Mehmert, impacts are, what can cause them, what we 2010 McEllhiney Lecturer can do about them, and the consequences when they are not addressed.

Associate Editor Mike Price examines the topic of lead, a common drinking water contaminant which has received national attention recently, in the feature cover story titled â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mitigating a Pesky Metalâ&#x20AC;? on page 21.

Lead appeared in the news to start the year as President Barack Obama signed â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Mike Price Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Actâ&#x20AC;? in January. The law provides a 36-month implementation period from approval, after which time manufacturers and importers

points out that it’s a time-consuming process that can’t be rushed because just as a bad hire can have a negative effect, a good hire can be a major benefit to a business.

The monthly installment of Safety Matters provides critical information on working near overhead power lines. In “A New Standard” on page 32, author Victor J. D’Amato, CIH, CSP, points out that the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recently addressed overhead power lines in a standard titled “Cranes and Derricks in the Construction Industry, Final Victor J. D’Amato Rule.” Among other provisions, the standard addresses specific requirements for working around power lines. D’Amato details the sections of the standard that address power lines and provides insight on the options that the standard gives employers for controlling hazards around power lines.

Columnist Ed Butts, PE, CPI, discusses how he views projects coming together in the latest Engineering Your Business.

In “The Creative Process—A Primer” on page 36, he goes over a chain he calls “The Creative Process.” It, he says, contains steps called idea, concept, design, engineering, production, and outcome. He provides insight on how following the process can lead to satisfied customers.

ITT to Separate into Three Independent Publicly Traded Companies ITT Corp., a global water provider, announced in January that its board of directors has unanimously approved a plan to separate the company’s businesses into three distinct, publicly traded companies. Under the plan, ITT would execute tax-free spinoffs to shareholders of its water-related businesses and its Defense and Information Solutions segment.

Following completion of the transaction, ITT will continue to trade on the New York Stock Exchange as an industrial company that supplies highly engineered solutions in the aerospace, transportation, energy and industrial markets. Under the plan, ITT shareholders will own shares in all three corpora-

ITT senior management and its board of directors believe these three businesses are well positioned to create significant value for shareholders as stand-alone companies. ITT expects to finalize and execute the plan before the end of the year.

“For nearly a century, ITT has been known for transformative strategies that create value for customers and shareowners,” says Steve Loranger, chairman, president, and CEO of ITT. “In recent years, we have nurtured and grown our unique portfolio of businesses, which are now poised to emerge as three strong and focused stand-alone companies with leading products and market positions, highly skilled employees, and tremendous value-generating potential for shareowners.”

NEWS/from page 10 Construction Employment Declined in 36 States During the Past 12 Months Thirty-six states lost construction jobs in 2010 as the industry shrank by 93,000 employees nationally, the Associated General Contractors of America reported in an analysis of state employment data released on January 25 by the Labor Department.

“While it’s nice to see the industry adding jobs in most states since February 2008, the challenges facing this in-

dustry are still very severe,” says Ken Simonson, the association’s chief economist. “Despite slight improvements in the construction employment picture, the industry is coping with weak demand, declining stimulus activity, and a growing political aversion to investing in aging infrastructure.”

Simonson notes that from November to December, seasonally adjusted employment rose in only 13 states and held steady in Connecticut even while construction employment nationwide shrunk by 16,000 nationally. Delaware had the largest one-month percentage

increase in employment (1.6%, 300 jobs), closely followed by Texas, which led in the number of jobs added (1.5%, 8700 jobs). Virginia was next, adding 1300 employees (0.7%).

The largest percentage losses between November and December were in West Virginia (–8.4%, 2800 jobs), followed by North Dakota (–7.1%, 1500 jobs), and Kentucky (–5.7%, 3800 jobs).

New York had the largest number of monthly job losses (8900 jobs, –2.8%), followed by Florida (8500 jobs, –2.5%), and Indiana (6200 jobs, –5.4%). Simonson cautions that the December monthly figures for many states may have been affected by exceptionally bad weather.

Two Senators Introduce and Pledge to Pass Repeal of 1099 Reporting Requirements Senate Finance Committee chairman Max Baucus (D-Montana) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) introduced and pledged on January 25 to pass a bipartisan bill that would repeal certain new reporting requirements for businesses.

Business owners have said these new reporting rules would be too time consuming for businesses to meet. Baucus and Reid said they hope to pass a repeal of these rules with strong bipartisan support.

The bipartisan legislation would repeal requirements for businesses to report payments made for goods and certain services to the IRS using tax form 1099. This expansion of the 1099 reporting requirements was proposed by the Bush administration to help better keep track of what businesses spend and earn, which in turn helps better keep track of tax liability.

The Treasury Department estimates that more than $345 billion in owed taxes go unpaid each year. As chairman of the Finance Committee, Baucus worked together with the Bush administration to begin crafting the policy, which was designed to collect more of those unpaid taxes and help keep taxes lower for all taxpayers. However, after the policy was finalized late in 2009 and became law in early 2010, more busi12/ March 2011 Water Well Journal

ness owners became aware of the new paperwork requirements and raised concerns about the resources that would be required to complete the forms when they would need to begin doing so in January 2012.

Baucus previously introduced legislation to repeal these form 1099 reporting requirements during the 111th Congress in November 2010.

States Taking Action on Radon Limits in Drinking Water States are taking the lead with studying levels of radon in drinking water and air even as federal regulators lag, as a coincidence of geology and population density leaves some more at risk than others of suffering from the naturally occurring radioactive toxin.

Nine states have guidelines for radon in drinking water, with New Jersey considering the most stringent levels, fourfold tighter than a limit proposed but never mandated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 1999.

Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Wisconsin are the other states that have some guidance levels for the chemical, says Ted Campbell, a hydrogeologist with the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, and chairman of a committee tasked with recommending its own levels. But most of the recommendations are at levels scientists say are insufficient to protect human health.

New Mexico Navajo Water Projects to Start in 2012 As the final legal requirements for implementing the San Juan Navajo Water Rights Settlement were fulfilled in December 2010, it opens the door for sustainable water supply and funding that ultimately will bring community drinking water to 80,000 Navajos for the first time.

The deal settles litigation begun in 1976 and finalizes allocation of New Mexicoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s portion of the Upper Colorado River Compact. The final adjudication of the Navajosâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; water rights in the San Juan River was effective December 29, 2010, according to documents on the New Mexico State Engineerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Web site.

With $780 million allocated out of the estimated $1 billion in project costs conNGWA.org

tained in the settlement, prospects are favorable that construction will meet its completion deadline of 2024â&#x20AC;&#x201D;ending a 48-year quest.

In exchange for resolving their water rights claims in the San Juan River, the Navajo Nation will receive several Bureau of Reclamation water projects, the biggest of which is the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project. The project will provide a reliable municipal and industrial water supply to 43 Navajo chapters in the eastern section of the Navajo Nation, including the communities of Fort

Defiance and Window Rock in Arizona, the southwestern part of the Jicarilla Apache Nation, and the city of Gallup.

in 21 states, the Justice Department and EPA announced. As part of the settlement, Beazer will also implement a company-wide stormwater program to improve compliance with stormwater runoff requirements at current and future construction sites around the country.

A portion of the settlement helps EPA efforts to protect the Chesapeake Bay, North America’s largest and most biologically diverse estuary. The bay and its tidal tributaries are threatened by pollution from a variety of sources and overburdened with nitrogen, phosphorus, and sediment that can be carried by stormwater. The settlement will result in a reduction of approximately 10.4 million pounds of pollutants to the bay watershed.

The government complaint, filed simultaneously with the settlement agreement in federal court in Nashville, Tennessee, alleges a pattern of violations that was discovered through site inspections and by reviewing documentation submitted by the company. The alleged violations include failure to obtain permits until after construction began, or failing to obtain them at all.

At sites with permits, violations included failure to prevent or minimize the discharge of pollutants such as silt and debris in stormwater runoff.

LOG NEWS FROM THE NATIONAL GROUND WATER ASSOCIATION

Franklin Electric Territory Managers Earn NGWA Sales Certification Franklin Electric, a contractorfocused company headquartered in Bluffton, Indiana, has been aggressive in encouraging its territory sales managers to became certified by the National Ground Water Association.

The NGWA Certifed Sales Professional (CSP) designation is specifically intended for supplier and manufacturer owners, operators, and employees.

“The CSP exam provided an excellent vehicle for us to qualify our territory managers’ product and application knowledge,” explains Dee Davis, vice president of Franklin Electric and president of its United States/Canada Commercial Business Unit. “The last of our 22 territory managers were qualified just after the holidays. We also currently have 17 field service engineers in addition to the Franklin hotline staff.

“More than anything, the CSP certification provided tangible proof of the training and expertise that all Franklin field personnel offer to the market.”

Franklin Electric’s southeast and Caribbean territory managers—with more than 200 years of experience in the water systems business—recently earned the CSP designation. Carl Wood, CSP II, southeast regional manager for Franklin Electric in Ocala, Florida, set the goal for his six territory managers

after he became certified in 2006.

“We make sure that when we give a training seminar or presentation, we introduce our territory managers as Certified Sales Professionals and add up their years of experience,” Wood says.

“That gives us a level of credibility no other organization can touch.”

In addition to Franklin Electric, a number of company sales teams have pursued the CSP designation.

Wood is encouraged by this and hopes the trend continues.

“It’s my feeling that the more professional we can train our industry, the better we can all interface with consumers and governmental personnel to promote our industry in a positive light.”

NGWA’s CSP program offers a CSP–Water Systems exam and a CSP– Drilling Operations exam. An individual is designated a CSP I for passing one of the two exams (regardless of focus) and a CSP II indicates the individual has passed both exams.

lip, trip, and fall injuries are a leading cause of fatalities and disabling injuries.

For water well drilling companies insured with the NGWA WellGuard Program slip, trip, and fall injuries accounted for 14% of employee injury claims reported in 2010.

These were severe injuries that each averaged more than $26,000 in medical and lost wage costs. Several injuries also resulted in long-term disability or recovery time in addition to the medical costs. And just think how many additional fall injuries occurred in 2010 that were never reported because they did not require trips to the emergency room.

So what can you do to help make your employees more aware of how to protect themselves from slips, trips, and falls?

A full 25% of the reported fall injuries at drill sites involved falls into a trench or ditch. Where do you place the excavated spoil dirt if you trench for a water line or to guide drilling water runoff away from under the rig? If you can place it on the side of the trench away from foot traffic, it may help prevent a fall. If you can remove the spoil dirt several feet away from the immediate area of the drill rig where most foot traffic will occur, that will also help prevent a fall.

If employees have to step across an open trench, clear a 3-foot-wide walkway through the spoil berm to provide level solid ground on both sides of the trench crossing point.

This pathway will make sure employees are not stepping from or jumping into loosely piled excavated soil.

We understand how hard you’ve worked to build your ground water contracting business, and we want to help you protect it. That’s why we’ve developed a customized insurance program that meets the most important needs of your business. We offer specialized coverages,

If employees have to carry bags of grout or other bulky items, park the delivery truck so that workers don’t have to cross or walk along a drainage ditch or pipe trench to get the material to where it needs to be used.

If the crew will be working before or after daylight, provide night lighting for the walkway or trenched areas as well as for the full work area on and around the drill rig and any adjacent support or supply vehicles.

These actions can all be included in prejob planning and discussed at pre-job safety briefings. A few minutes of extra thought and planning can help prevent an expensive employee injury that could temporarily shut down the drill site, or add overtime costs to the job.

Job site housekeeping is an employee and supervisor training topic. With appropriate pre-job planning and on-site supervision many of the slip, trip, and fall hazards at a drill site can be eliminated or controlled to reduce fall potentials.

What can be done to keep mud and water away from the walking areas and minimize the amount tracked up on the rear drilling step or maintenance stands where it can make the metal grate surfaces slippery?

Where is the best place to stack materials or park supply vehicles? Controlling trash and spoil materials to reduce fall exposures are training and supervisor issues worth reviewing.

Falls from trucks and drill rigs are common and expensive injuries too. Rule one: Never jump down from the bed or cab of a like downhole coverage, that are designed exclusively for the groundwater industry.

Also, additional premium credits are available for NGWA-certified contractors.

truck. Always climb up and down using the available steps and handholds. If needed, carry a sturdy ladder that can be used for accessing and dismounting flat bed trailers and rig tenders that don’t have built-in steps.

Be extremely careful loading or unloading as cargo, particularly well casing and drill rod, can suddenly shift when tie down straps are released or pulled tight. Be sure work boots have non-skid soles and provide good ankle support.

Falls occur in the shop, yard, and office areas as well. Good lighting, housekeeping, snow removal, and wearing non-skid footwear can all help minimize fall injury exposures. If there are steps without lights or handrails in or outside the shop or warehouse, install lighting and safety handrails.

This includes steps leading to storage lofts and loading docks. Keep one hand on the safety railing, particularly when descending steps. One employee was seriously injured falling headfirst down a 4-foot outside stairway.

Falls can be prevented with proper training and supervision. Because of their potential severity, each fall that is prevented may prevent a disabling injury or a fatality.

Teach your employees to be fall safe.

(COVER STORY) he city of Galena, Illinois, approximately 250 miles north of Springfield, is a historical landmark.

Galena was the residence of such notable figures as Ulysses S. Grant, along with several other war generals, entertainers, and politicians. Historical architecture also makes it a popular tourist destination.

Now for the really interesting fact. The city is named for the mineral “galena,” the natural form of lead sulfide and the most important lead ore mineral. Native Americans, including the Sac and Fox tribes, mined the ore in Galena for use in body painting. French trappers discovered the area in the 1690s and began mining the lead. Some estimate that half to more than three-quarters of the lead used in the Civil War came from Galena.

History tidbits aside, “lead is a localized problem for us, and if we are concerned we design the well to mitigate,” states Larry Lyons, president of Lyons Well Drilling Co. Inc. in Stockton, Illinois, nearly 30 miles east of Galena.

Lead appeared in the news to begin this year. On January 4, President Barack Obama signed a bipartisan bill, “The Reduction of Lead in Drinking Water Act,” affecting those who serve the groundwater industry.

Most of the issues revolve around corrosion, or leaching, of lead—a metal found in natural deposits—in water system materials.

The new law provides a 36-month implementation period from approval, after which time manufacturers and importers will be required to comply with the new standard. It uniformly reduces the lead standard for pipes, pipe fittings, and plumbing fittings to 0.25% across the nation, which is consistent with the current state laws in California, Maryland, and Vermont. The previous national level of permissible lead content was 8%. The law also establishes a benchmark for solder and flux of 0.2%.

The measure amends Section 1417 of the Safe Drinking Water Act by redefining “lead free.”

“As manufacturers we support having a unified lead content level versus having 50 states writing their own lead reduction legislation with varied lead content levels,” says Paul Erb, product manager for Boshart Industries Inc. in Milverton, Ontario. “That was the course we were heading with several states already working on lead reduction laws.”

NSF International, an independent public health organization that tests and certifies plumbing and drinking water treatment products, applauded the government for harmonizing federal legislation with recently enacted state requirements and NSF standards.

Plumbing devices already certified to NSF Standard 61, Annex G fully comply with the lead-content requirements of this newly passed act. A list of compliant products can be found on NSF’s Web site at www.nsf.org.

Other organizations test and certify plumbing products as well, including the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials through its Uniform Plumbing Code ® and Uniform Mechanical Code ®. More information can be found at www.iapmo.org.

To prevent leaching of lead from valve bodies used for check valves, yard hydrants, or pitless adapters, many of today’s manufacturers of water system materials use brass alloys with lower lead content than is required by the Safe Drinking Water Act (see “Industry Manufacturers Get the Lead Out”).

“Corrosion, at least in my mind, is probably the most difficult water quality issue that exists,” says Peter S. Cartwright, PE, owner of Cartwright Consulting Co. in Minneapolis, Minnesota. “There are so many different reasons for corrosion, so you could spend an awful lot of time just addressing the sources of corrosion if nothing else.”

Merrill Manufacturing Co., which has offered its diverse product line to the water well industry for more than 60 years, machines its valve bodies in the company’s plant in Storm Lake, Iowa.

“We make sure every valve body has been put through a custom-built parts washer to clean the inside as well as the outside,” says Stephen Anderson, CEO of Merrill Manufacturing. “The parts are hand-checked after washing to be sure filings from machining are removed. The valve bodies are also pressure tested to ensure quality.

“The various items are then assembled using food-grade 22/ March 2011 Water Well Journal

Industry Manufacturers Get the Lead Out Boshart Industries Inc. in Milverton, Ontario, is just one of many manufacturers in the groundwater industry that have taken steps in providing lead-free water well and plumbing components.

Such water well industry products include stainless steel pitless adapters, insert fittings, tank tees, check and foot valves, ball valves, and a number of fittings and accessories.

“We have had a commitment to making lead-free alternatives available long before lead issues were a mainstream topic of conservation,” says Paul Erb, product manager for Boshart Industries. “We were committed prior to California introducing the AB 1953 lead reduction bill in 2006 and Vermont following with Act 193 (S. 152) in 2007 where both reduced the lead content level to 0.25 percent lead by weighted average.”

As a result of the lead reduction laws coming into effect in 2010, the demand for lead-free products has increased throughout the industry.

On the market since November 2010, the standard Hydroflo Zero Lead Pump by Hydroflo Pumps USA Inc. in Fairview, Tennessee, features stainless steel impellers and hardware, cast iron lined bowl, and Vesconite bearings, a specialized thermoplastic composed of internally lubricated polymers.

“The Vesconite bearings add years to the life of our Zero Lead Pump,” says Brian Daschner, president of Hydroflo Pumps. “These bearings can last up to 10 times longer in dirty conditions than bronze bearings. Additionally, Vesconite has a very low coefficient of friction, which means lower horsepower and less energy to operate.”

With the lead issue of the last few years, Merrill Manufacturing Co. in Storm Lake, Iowa, has added many new stainless steel products to the offering for customers who want a nolead product for their water system. Merrill introduced several new product designs in 2008 and 2009 as well as other current brass products that are now offered in stainless steel and PVC. “Merrill manufactures and sells the industry’s largest selection of frost-proof yard hydrants, pitless units, kits and adapters, well caps, tank tees, insert fittings, as well as one of the largest selections of other water well accessories in the industry,” says Stephen Anderson, CEO of Merrill Manufacturing. “Our goal is to be the best supplier in the water well industry with employee dedication and an excellent customer service staff.”

To learn more about these manufacturers’ products, services, and contact information, as well as others serving the groundwater industry, see the 2011 Water Well Journal Buyers Guide on page 56. approved lubricants where needed, then packaged to keep the valves clean. In the case of our yard hydrants, we use a plastic plug on the inlet of the hydrant to keep everything clean on the inside of each hydrant.”

Quality control is also important to Boshart Industries, one of the largest suppliers of water well accessories in North America that has carried a complete line of products that NGWA.org

range from plastic insert fittings, clamps, and gauges to industrial valves and fittings since 1955.

A significant investment in alloy testing equipment was made in 2003 that gave Boshart Industries the ability to test the lead content levels of incoming products in-house to ensure the levels were within the EPA’s requirements. This equipment is third-party calibrated annually and has played an important role in protecting its customers and the public from non-compliant products as the company moves forward with lead reduction on a national basis.

“We all need to do our part to educate everybody in the supply chain from the manufacturers right down to and including the home owner, and to minimize potential sources of lead, to assure that safe, quality drinking water reaches our homes, businesses, and schools across the nation,” Erb says.

In an effort to meet market demands, Hydroflo Pumps USA Inc., a manufacturer of turbines, pumps, and specialty products for numerous industries since 1998 and based in Fairview, Tennessee, announced the addition of a Zero Lead Pump to its line of products.

The Zero Lead Pump debuted in November 2010 and exceeds regulations of the current Safe Drinking Water Act, including the laws in the states of California and Vermont.

“Lead poisoning is a very serious health issue, especially in young children,” says Brian Daschner, president of Hydroflo Pumps. “In fact, the EPA has referred to childhood lead poisoning as ‘a major environmental health problem.’ The good news is it is very preventable.” WWJ Circle card no. 49

“Hiring people is a huge and challenging decision for any business owner.

This is even more true for small business owners, because sometimes smaller businesses can feel more like families,” explains Julianne Saifullah, director of career services at Sullivan University in Lexington, Kentucky, who coaches recent college graduates and alumni on successfully navigating job searches.

“The problem with hiring the right people is that the process takes a lot longer than just hiring the first warm body that comes along. Hiring managers have to be prepared to invest a good chunk of time in the process—finding candidates, interviewing them, testing them, and trying them out . . . it’s almost like dating,” she says.

“As social networking grows increasingly pervasive, more and more employers are using these sites to research job candidates,” says Saifullah, who frequently advises job seekers to clean up any digital dirt and adjust existing security settings before applying for jobs.

The most common sites checked are Facebook, LinkedIn, and MySpace.

Some employers in the survey said they also researched blogs, and some even followed candidates’ Twitter feeds.

Other online behavior employers are concerned about include inappropriate information and photos, poor communication skills, bad-mouthing employees and employers, inaccurate credentials, unprofessional screen names, information regarding criminal behavior, and posting confidential information about previous employers.

But there can be an upside to cyberstalking applicants. In the same survey, 18% of hiring managers reported they found information on social networking sites that influenced them to hire the candidate. Top examples cited included when the profile provided a good feel for the candidate’s personality and fit, the candidate’s professional qualifications were supported, and the candidate appeared to be creative, well-rounded, and showed solid communication skills.

HIRING/from page 26 Although this trend appears to be on the rise, hiring managers should use caution when checking out potential hires online.

“Employers understandably want to obtain as much relevant information about job applicants,” Saifullah says.

However, conducting research outside of the formal interview process can place employers at risk of discrimination claims when hiring decisions are influenced by details of applicants’ personal lives that are revealed via the Internet.

With any background check, state and federal law prohibits employers from making employment decisions based on categories such as race, color, gender, disability, age, and national origin.

“Employers researching applicants online will likely learn information about an applicant that may not have come up during a traditional interview,” Saifullah says.

For example, an applicant’s online profile may reveal his religious views,

or a disability that is unrelated to his ability to perform a job. By learning this information online, the employer may have to someday explain that this information did not factor into the hiring decision.

The old adage “don’t believe everything you read (or see) online” may also come into play here.

“When you’re checking people out on the Internet, there’s no assurance that the information you find is accurate,” Saifullah says. “It’s possible for a person to create a fake profile of another person, post fake pictures, or publish other incorrect information.”

Also, be careful not to make blanket judgments. A photo that shows an applicant having a casual drink with friends does not necessarily mean she has a drinking problem or will turn out to be an unreliable employee.

Fitting In By far, one of the biggest concerns hiring managers face is finding the right fit for the job—meaning not only will the applicant possess the skills necessary for the work, but he or she has the

right personality and mind-set for the job and will work well with the company’s other employees.

Once you’ve selected the people you want to interview, the real challenge is only beginning.

“Interviewing should be thought of as a process. Take your time getting to know the candidate—through screening, interviewing, testing, and reference checking,” Saifullah says.

John Wright, vice president of human resources at Layne Christensen, which is arguably the world’s largest drilling firm with $1 billion in annual revenues and approximately 5000 employees worldwide, says he favors behavioral interviewing techniques over the more traditional styles.

Behavioral-based interviewing is based on discovering how the person being interviewed acted in specific employment-related situations. The logic is that how the applicant behaved in the past will predict how they will behave in the future—in other words, past performance predicts future performance.

In a traditional interview, employers may ask a series of questions which typ-

ically have straightforward answers.

“What are your strengths?” or “What major challenges and problems did you face?” and “How did you handle them?”

In a behavioral interview, an employer will ask questions designed to find out if the candidate has the skills they’re looking for. Instead of asking how applicants would behave, they will ask how did they behave. An example might be “Give an example of a goal you reached and tell me how you achieved it.” or “Have you had to convince a team to work on a project they weren’t thrilled about? How did you do it?”

“It’s a subtle difference, but it can be very telling,” Wright says.

Beyond the interview, if employers want to gain a better understanding of a candidate’s personality, ability, or skills, they should look to testing.

“Personality tests are on the rise again after falling out of use after the civil rights legislation of the 1960s and affirmative action programs of the 1970s,” Saifullah says. “They give you an idea of a candidate’s inherent behavioral traits, and skills and ability tests

NGWA.org

are an excellent way to determine how well the applicant will perform on the job.”

Wright says Layne Christensen uses the Culture Index™ test for hiring in managerial and leadership roles.

“It’s a simple test, only 56 questions and takes about 15 minutes, but it can tell you a lot,” he says. “In fact, we’ve found it to be uncannily accurate.”

Wright goes on to explain the Culture Index can be used not only in hiring decisions, but also in identifying people within the company who have the right traits to be groomed and developed into leadership roles.

“Business owners always have to think about succession planning, especially small companies,” he explains.

“When you’re hiring someone to be a driller’s helper, you have to think, “Would he make a good driller? Does he have the right traits to maybe take over the company someday?”

Personality tests can also help business owners avoid the problem of hiring people who are too much like themselves, Wright says.

“You have to ask yourself, what do

Circle card no. 71

we need? Do we have too many Chiefs and not enough Indians, or vice versa?”

As a business owner, your first impulse is to hire someone quickly to fill the pressing need. But not doing due diligence on a candidate can prove to be disastrous for a company.

Pierre Mornell estimates the cost of a bad hire in his book Hiring Smart.

“If you make a mistake in hiring, and you recognize and rectify the mistake within six months, the cost of replacing the employee is two and a half times the person’s annual salary. Put another way, hiring the wrong person earning $40,000 will cost your company $100,000 . . . and that doesn’t include the emotional costs.”

The way to guarantee your hiring success is to hire right in the first place, and that takes time. Concentrate on getting to know the candidate—including their past performance, personality, and skills.

The more attention you pay to the hiring process, the better results you’ll get, because nothing benefits a business more in the long run than having the right people working there. WWJ

WATER WELL JOURNAL Q & A

Mike H. Mehmert, Johnson Screens ater Well Journal decided to catch up with Mike H. Mehmert, a member of the National Ground Water Association and an active Well Standards Committee member. He was the 2010 National Ground Water Research and Educational Foundation (NGWREF) McEllhiney Lecturer. NGWREF is operated by the National Ground Water Association as a 501(c)(3) public foundation.

Mehmert is the director of sales and marketing-well products at Johnson Screens, a Weatherford company. His career, spanning more than 38 years, has encompassed Mike H. Mehmert, consulting, 2010 McEllhiney contracting, and Lecturer manufacturing— almost entirely in the groundwater industry. He was the project director and contributing author for the third edition of Groundwater & Wells.

“You Drill a Hole—You Develop a Well” was the title of Mehmert’s 2010 NGWREF McEllhiney Lecture. The discussion examined what the negative drilling impacts are, what can cause them, what we can do about them, and the consequences when they are not addressed. Various development techniques were presented, with the emphasis on suitability of technique to completion design. Mehmert discussed and attempted to answer the ever-

“It’s getting people to understand that well development is just as important as drilling the hole.” present question, “When is a well developed?” The lecture addressed both lowand high-capacity well development issues.

Water Well Journal: To recap, how was your lecture received by the groundwater industry?

Mike H. Mehmert: I think it was well received. I met a lot of people, got a lot of good questions, and opened some people’s eyes. It was a good topic. I tried to present it from a different perspective.

I tried to get into the why are we doing well development, why do we do it the way we do, and can we do it better.

We don’t bill for the development of the well. It can go smoothly, but when it goes bad, the framework isn’t there. I think it opened up the discussion of this process before it gets to an adversarial aspect.

I tried to take well development and look under the hood: why do we do it, what goes wrong when we do it, how do you address what goes wrong when you do it because it will continue to go wrong (laughs). We’re only people. We use equipment, and equipment breaks down. People get sidetracked.

WWJ: What are some of the issues you addressed regarding well development?

Mike: Well development is not a line item in a contract. Some people think, “Pump the well until it’s clear, now it’s developed.” No, that’s not well develop-

ment. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about education. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taught development over the years. Look at our company. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taught people a lot about well design and well efficiency.

We have addressed well development over the years, but to me, not from the aspect of all the issues with well development. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve looked at how does our product benefit well development, not the whole well development process.

So in terms of that, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an educational thing; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting people to understand that this is just as important as drilling the hole, doing this part of it right. If we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do this part of it right, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to wind up with nothing.

Rightfully so, you need to pay for that.

You need to understand thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a value.

WWJ: That leads me to my next question on contracts, one of your main talking points during the lecture.

Why isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t well development included as a line item in a contract?

Mike: Development is not as precise as drill to this depth, which is easily measured. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s overlooked because development is vague. Development gets into the art; we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t define that as well as we can measure diameters, depths, flows, etc. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why a lot of good people brought up coming to grips with techniques or measures or something on-site that we can better use to evaluate where we are with development. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have those answers, but can we as an industry come up with techniques or procedures or tools that will allow us to do a better job of site evaluation in realtime so that we can make better decisions? A lot of times on-site decisions need to be made right away, and if you have to wait to get a hold of somebody, that may be an issue.

WWJ: Lastly, how do you think your lecture has benefited the groundwater industry?

Mike: The perception of well development was well received. I heard comments like â&#x20AC;&#x153;interesting, thoughtprovoking.â&#x20AC;? Will anything come of it?

I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know. I tried to put a different twist on it. I think people agree that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important. To me as an industry, I do think we focus on screens and those types of things. Companies are in business to make money. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not in the development business per se, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t sell services. The only thing we can potentially offer the industry is a better NGWA.org

widget to make development more effective or save time or develop some value to the end user.

A contractor, on the other hand, a lot of times he is under the gun to bid a lump sum for something. To me, one of the things that the industry might consider in more situations is time and materials work, like in the oil field. In our industry itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lump-sum bid, and I think a lot of that has to do with the buy ability. For contractors to bid, they have to try and assess, to bid on lump sums, assess the risks, and pad that bid in case you have a bad situation.

When structuring contracts, risk, what I see is heavily placed on the contractor, not necessarily the consultant.

Not saying thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right or wrong, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the way it is. How do you spread that risk around so that the owner winds up with the best value? I think we can do a better job, but you got to address these other facts. That may be a generation away, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an educational process.

I think what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned is that we have the knowledge to do it better, but we have to change the system to allow the knowledge to work best. WWJ

By Victor J. D’Amato, CIH, CSP

A New Standard Overhead power lines are addressed in a new OSHA standard.

here are two different sources of electrical hazards present at any drilling site. Sources that are brought to the site (power tools, extension cords, and generators).

Sources that are present at the site (overhead power lines or underground utilities).

Overhead power lines were recently addressed in a new Occupational Safety and Health Administration standard titled “Cranes and Derricks in the Construction Industry, Final Rule,” and promulgated in August 2010. Among other provisions, this standard addresses specific requirements for working around power lines.

The provisions of this new standard are a response to a need to protect workers from electrocution on construction sites. Contact with overhead power lines accounted for nearly 60% of fatalities among non-electrical workers in construction between 2003 and 2005. For water well drillers, contact with overhead power lines accounted for nearly 14 deaths per 100,000 full-time earth drillers in this same period. The only trade with a higher fatality rate was electrical power installers/repairers.

T

Electrical Hazards and Power Lines The electrical hazards posed by contacting or even coming close to contacting power lines depends on the energy carried by the line. When working around high power lines, physical contact with that line is not always necessary to electrify equipment. An Victor J. D’Amato, a certified industrial hygienist and certified safety professional, is the director of Atrium Environmental Health and Safety Services in Reston, Virginia.

32/ March 2011 Water Well Journal

electrical arc between equipment in close proximity and the power line can occur, and that arc can electrify conductive equipment, such as a drill rig or crane boom, as the electrical current seeks ground.

Anything in the current’s path to ground also becomes electrified, including workers who may be in contact with the equipment or simply standing on the ground in the vicinity of the equipment.

This is why it is essential that when working near power lines, engineering controls and established safe work practices be in place to prevent work from occurring too close to power lines.

The New Standard There are five sections of the OSHA standard for cranes and derricks (29 CFR 1926, Subpart CC) that address specific requirements for the assembly, disassembly, and operation of cranes, derricks, and similar equipment near power lines. ●

●

● ●

●

29 CFR 1926.1407 Power line safety (up to 350 kV)—assembly and disassembly 29 CFR 1926.1408 Power line safety (up to 350 kV)—equipment operations 29 CFR 1926.1409 Power line safety (over 350 kV) 29 CFR 1926.1410 Power line safety (all voltages)—equipment operations closer than the Table A zone 29 CFR 1926.1411 Power line safety—while traveling under or near power lines with no load.

The standard gives employers three options for controlling hazards from power lines when staging, operating, and destaging equipment. These options are, from most to least preferred:

1. Confirm from the utility owner or operator that the power line has been deenergized and visibly grounded at the work site.

2. Establish a plan to work within a designated safe work area that is clear (horizontally and vertically) of the power lines. For power lines up to 350 kilovolts (kV), equipment must not get closer than 20 feet from the

SAFETY/continues on page 34 A National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Case Study A 33-year-old water well contractor was electrocuted when a metal pipe lifted by a truck-mounted crane contacted a 12,000-volt overhead power line. The victim and a coworker were repairing a submersible pump for a water well at a private residence.

The well was located in a pasture with three parallel power lines overhead. One of the power lines passed directly over the well, 32 feet above the ground. On the day of the incident, the victim positioned the truck-mounted crane beneath the power line. Using a handheld remote-control pendant, the victim fully extended the end of the boom 36 feet above the ground.

The crane cable was attached to a 1-inch-diameter galvanized pipe that ran to the pump inside the well. As the victim raised the pipe, it contacted the power line directly above the well, energizing the crane and the handheld remote-control pendant. The victim provided a path to ground and was electrocuted.

If the employer uses the second and third options shown, project-specific encroachment prevention methods must be developed and implemented. These include:

Table A Minimum Clearance Distances Voltage

over 50 to 200 kV

15 feet

over 200 to 350 kV

25 feet

over 500 to 750 kV

35 feet

over 750 to 1000 kV

45 feet

over 1000 kV

The minimum clearance distance must be established by the power line owner/operator or registered professional engineer who is a qualified person with respect to electrical power transmission and distribution.

SAFETY/from page 32 power line. For power lines over 350 kV, equipment must not get closer than 50 feet from the power line.

3. If options 1 and 2 are not possible, employers must refer to the Minimum Clearance Distances table in the standard (shown in Table A). This table prescribes minimum clearance distances based on the power line voltage.

1. Conducting a planning meeting with the rig operator and the other workers who will be in the area of the equipment to review the location of the power lines and the steps that will be implemented to prevent encroachment.

2. Using only nonconductive tag lines, if they are necessary.

3. Erecting and maintaining elevated warning lines, signs, flags, or barriers demarcating the designated safe work area that can be clearly seen by the rig operator.

4. Using an alarm system (such as a proximity alarm, a dedicated spotter, or range control device), a device that limits equipment movement (such as a range limiter), or an insulating link or device. One or more of these systems or devices should be implemented.

If for some reason it is necessary to operate the drill rig within the distances listed in Table A, even more restrictive requirements apply. A list of specific prevention methods are prescribed in 29 CFR 1926.1410.

Requirements and clearance distances for moving equipment near power lines is addressed in 29 CFR 1926.1411.

Training Under the New Standard Under the new standard, OSHA requires that each operator and crew member assigned to work on a drill rig be trained in the following: 1. Procedures to be followed in the event of contact with a power line, including information on the danger of electrocution from touching energized equipment or the ground in the immediate vicinity of the equipment; the importance of remaining inside the cab unless there is imminent danger of fire or other emergency; the safest means of evacuating the equipment; step potential hazards (energized ground around an energized vehicle); the need to avoid touching any energized equipment or vehicles; and the minimum safe clearance distances from the power lines.

2. To presume lines are energized and uninsulated unless confirmed by the power line owner or operator and visibly grounded at the work site.

3. The limitations of any warning device or insulated equipment and the procedures for properly grounding equipment, as well as the limitations of properly grounded equipment.

4. Finally, employees who will serve as a spotter must be adequately trained and educated so they can properly perform the task. This includes where the spotter should position himself, prescribed clearance distances, and how to properly observe and notify the operator if they are approaching the power lines.

On average, half of the fatalities each year in crane and drill rig accidents are caused by electrocution. Common sense dictates that electrical safety on job sites, particularly around power lines, is always paramount. But if common sense isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough, the statistics should be. WWJ

I received one such e-mail last month. Let’s call the reader “Bill.” He resides on the East Coast and asked, “Ed, once in a while, you allude to the practice of design and engineering in one of your columns; aren’t these basically the same thing or don’t they at least go hand in hand? If not, could you describe the differences as you see them?”

Well, Bill, the short answer to this excellent question is “yes and no.” Yes, they do work hand in hand, and no, the terms are not interchangeable and do not define the same task even though they are unquestionably tied to each other.

Although a short answer could be provided, I believe since the question is timely and relevant to our profession, I will respond through a column with a primer dedicated to the answer.

As you read the next few paragraphs, please remember that most of the following terms are terms I have coined and may not exactly match the terms and protocol others have developed although I believe the concept to be valid.

First of all, let’s consider the terms of design and engineering as but two elements of several on the chain of the creative process. The creative process is a

Figure 1. The creative process.

Idea Concept Design Engineering Production Outcome series of up to six progressive steps, new or recycled, that result in an original and final outcome.

Essentially, an outcome is the term used to describe anything and everything that results from the cumulative steps in the creative process, although the execution or completion of each of the six steps is not necessarily required to affect the outcome.

The process usually results in a tangible product—you know, something you can place your hands on, like a new well or water system. But it can also be a book, a type of interstellar spacecraft, a car, or even a new type of desk. However, it doesn’t even have to be a product for it can be as ordinary as an ad campaign for a new brand of soda or even an assembly of acts that constitute a movie. The creative process can result in virtually anything, but is typically accomplished through a progressive advancement of one or more of the six steps shown in Figure 1.

Idea and Concept Fundamentally, the start of any new product such as a freeway, bike, or soft drink (a new outcome) can conceivably take root in the mind of the creator as an original idea or as a derivative of an existing outcome, for even the crazy or impossible plans generally start in the mind of someone as an original idea.

Usually, though, it springs forth from the old adage, “Necessity is the mother of invention.” The quote from the movie

Field of Dreams—“If you build it, they will come”—and the familiar expression “If you build a better mousetrap, the world will beat a path to your door” are both true statements in the creative process. Although the occasionally brilliant new ideas still occur (you know, the ones from cartoons showing the light bulb illuminated above the head), the original idea step is often bypassed to the concept step as the need for the product, building, or water well has already been well established.

The concept phase is one of the most critical but often overlooked procedures in the creative process. Where the idea step is often a one-shot, make or break interval, the concept (or feasibility) step is where the developmental costs and timelines, manufacturing or construction costs, and future sales potential, among other factors, is carefully and extensively evaluated to ensure that the basic idea, or to be more accurate, the concept has merit. Many seemingly “can’t miss ideas” stumble at this step simply because the idea was ultimately deemed to be too impractical or expensive to construct or manufacture, too limited in marketing or sales potential, or simply just too dumb of an idea to proceed.

This is where the rubber meets the road, so to speak. In a water system analysis, the concept step for a new well would have usually already been considered within the framework of a mas-

Design and Engineering The design step is one of two closely interrelated steps in the middle of the creative process, the other one obviously being the engineering step. Design and engineering is often referred to as the relationship between “form and function.” Form comprises the basic design of the outcome through styling, streamlining, space utilization, and other aesthetically pleasing methods. Function is the application of established engineering guidelines that will produce the designer’s creation, but within all allowable manufacturing and operational limits and tolerances and at the lowest possible cost.

As we proceed to these two links on the chain, I feel it is important to define each of the terms to provide some clarity (as described in the American Heritage Dictionary along with some minor editing on my part): ●

design (verb): to conceive, invent, to formulate a plan or concept for, devise; (noun): a drawing, plan, or sketch, especially a detailed plan developed and used for construction or manufacture of a structure, product, or works. engineering (verb): to plan, construct, or manage works as an engineer; (noun): the application of scientific principles to practical ends, as in the design, manufacture, and operation of structures and machines.

I think it’s interesting that not only does each term have meaning as a verb and as a noun, but the term of design is actually included within the definition of engineering, but engineering is not included within the basic definition of design.

There are both legal and practical reasons for this distinction, as engineering, particularly professional engineering, is a legally protected term in virtually every state and province in North America. Just as people without the requisite education, training, and 38/ March 2011 Water Well Journal

The concept phase is one of the most critical but often overlooked procedures in the creative process. experience cannot legally refer to themselves as “medical doctors” or as an “M.D.,” the same is true for individuals who wish to practice as and add the title of “professional engineer” or “PE” to their name. Each state in the country and all of the Canadian provinces have laws and regulations that protect and regulate the use of the term of engineering, at least within the context of providing engineering services to the general public.

In my judgment, this is an important difference. I believe that “design” is more of a creative art, practical skill, or ability than an application using technology and science. I also think that the engineering is usually determined from the design, and not the other way around.

Design, as a typically unregulated practice, is an art form that can be developed from sheer talent and then nurtured and advanced through additional experience and trial and error, often with little or no initial formal training or education. Engineering, on the other hand, cannot afford the risks associated with trial and error. It is the application of scientific principles and tenets that allows the conversion of what was once a conceptual design into a practical and workable form where the design complies with the various laws of physics, codes, and engineering mechanics. Engineering provides a finished outcome that will operate within the allowable boundaries of the elastic stresses, strains, and other forces imposed onto the materials used in the design, all of which essentially results in a quasimarriage of the two resulting in what is termed as a safe design.

Production and Outcome Following design and engineering, the final two steps are production and final outcome, or result. Production, as you would expect, can take many forms and methods. Depending on the nature of the design and engineering, produc-

tion methods can include everything from an assembly line process for books or automobiles, use of an air rotary drilling machine for a new well in basalt rock, or a “Sno-Cone Machine” for making snow cones.

Often, the production methods and machines are geared to match the unique characteristics of the outcome or product, particularly on mass production assembly lines where maintaining the assembly speed from one end of the process to the other end is paramount to ensure profitability as units are not produced and counted in single numbers but by the thousands or even millions.

For the most part, the key to an efficient production step is uniformity.

However, uniformity can be expressed in various forms. It’s usually referred to in this realm as quality control. Quality control is the basis by which all of the preceding steps, such as the design and engineering, have already been determined and implemented into the range of the allowable parameters for the final outcome.

Once again, this could be expressed as the stress of the material in psi, the alignment and straightness of a finished well, or how many pages are bound into a binding for a new book.

For a new water system, the expected flow rate and pressure at the specified delivery point would generally validate the outcome. As you can see, the parameters are almost endless although they must always apply to the specific outcome expected.

The Water Well Example So, you’re probably asking yourself, “What does this mean to me?” Obviously, there are specific elements of the creative process that may have less emphasis to you than others. However, I believe I can relate an example of how the overall process does apply to the water well industry.

Let’s assume you, Joe Welldone of Welldone Drilling, have been contacted

by John Needsnewwell. So far, that’s it; there has been no other contact. You know virtually nothing about his actual needs for a new well and know even less about what he is currently using for his water supply. This is the start of the creative process, at least how it applies to John Needsnewwell’s “new well.”

NGWA.org

You meet with Mr. Needsnewwell and examine his current situation, only to discover his existing well is essentially dry and producing water of inferior quality. You have passed the idea step and are rapidly moving into the concept phase. Both you and the customer know that the existing well is beyond salvage or reconstruction and realize a new well is the most practical solution. There is no new idea here, but the concept phase is well under way as you must now determine the location of the new well, negotiate the parameters, such as projected depth, and the cost. These are the factors that must be completed before you can move into the next steps, design and engineering, especially since you really don’t even have the job yet!

Once you complete the concept step and are authorized to drill a new well, the remaining steps are obvious: the design and engineering of the new well may occur easily during the production step, particularly when the variable nature of well construction is considered. However, they will occur.

Hopefully, the production step of actually drilling the well will lead to a satisfactory outcome for your customer of a new well and for you with a check from a satisfied customer.

Unquestionably, there can be numerous detours and back and forth motions along the process. However, teaching the application and use of the creative process to new and existing employees is an excellent way to demonstrate the intricacies of salesmanship as well as effective project management. It’s a tool that when properly applied can result in satisfied customers, knowledgeable employees, and better profitability.

Until next month, work safe and smart. WWJ

here are various methods used to rotate a drill bit. These include:

Rotary table with mechanical drive Rotary table with hydrostatic drive Hydraulic or hydrostatic topdrive with final internal chain or gear drive Sliding mechanical topdrive, chain box, or V-belt drive Fixed position mechanical topdrive whereby kelly slides through topdrive Same as just above, except powered by hydraulic motor with planetary gearbox Hollow spindle hydraulic motors such as Geco, Vickers, and Rineer Downhole mud motors.

Rotary Tables

An entire article (Water Well Journal, June 2009) was dedicated to the tables.

The advantage of a mechanical rotary is the simplicity of design and maintenance. A rotary table will keep the high torques completely out of the mast structure. A simple hydraulic system used on a table rig will not require a cooler and as such will be more horsepower-efficient as compared to a topdrive. Pipe handling in a mast with the kelly retracted using the auxiliary block is very fast. Long and heavy pipes can be handled with a lay-down line and a snatch block.

Topdrives

Over the years, topdrives have flooded the industry with reliable rotary power. A big advantage is that rotary speed can be controlled infinitely and rotary torque can be controlled by the hydraulic pressure.

The original German hydraulic topdrives would drill a joint of pipe down, then unscrew and tilt the head out to connect to the next joint, pulling it up, connecting up and drilling again. In other words, the bit stays on the bottom of the hole and the problem of backfill during a connection is solved. Typical U.S. topdrives use a carousel and make the connection of topdrive spindle to pipe with the topdrive pulled up to the top.

For deeper holes than the capacity of the carousel(s) mounted on or in the mast, the author recommends that you eliminate the carousels and use a hook and sling to make a connection or use a

single rod loader with swinging arm or use a hydraulic pipe loader, allowing the operator to make a connection with no manpower touching the drill pipe or collars. This is nice, but nice is also heavy and expensive.

The reaction torque of the topdrive must be transmitted through the mast members to the mast hinge and mast leg locks. Mast design must be based on maximum torque plus maximum pullback simultaneously. As explained in earlier columns on mast design (August and September 2009) and feed cylinders (December 2009), the pullback to gross load ratio is not very effective. Actual mast efficiency of only 33â&#x2026;&#x201C; percent can be seen compared to the kelly operation on six lines with deadline at the crown at 85.7 percent of mast gross load or design load.

A topdrive mast will be heavy by itself. Carousels holding as many as 20 rods plus a feed cylinder with heavy chains, a heavy topdrive, and more make these rigs top-heavy. EDSI has re42/ March 2011 Water Well Journal

The question as to how to select topdrive versus kelly-rotary is easily asked.

The answer requires a full knowledge as to the drilling and casing program to be assigned to the new rig. The past experience of the crew brings another outlook on the subject, and then it becomes the subject of cost and maintenance.

Coiled Tubing Drilling

Gene Carriere (29) and Dan Cooldade (25) have spent a lifetime in coiled tubing drilling. The numbers following their names are not their ages but their years of experience.

Two wells including the short move can be drilled in 24 hours. This requires 100 feet of preset surface casing.

Drilling rotation is done by downhole motors. The making up and breaking out of downhole assemblies and coils is done by EDSI Superbowls with hydraulic power and 100,000 pounds of dynamic thrustload rating, yet the units are only 8⅝ inches from base to top of drive ring.

The Trail Blazer Drilling Corp. rigs have a capacity of 1500 meters (5000 feet) with 2⅞-inch tubing and 1200 meters (4000 feet) with 3½-inch drill pipe.

The mud system includes an 800 hp triplex. The rig is mounted on a 16wheel trailer. The 65-foot mast has a 75ton capacity and includes a topdrive for rotary drilling with 175 rpm and 6600 ft-lbs of torque. One work reel of tubing can hold 4920 feet of 2⅞-inch or 3200 feet of 3½-inch tubing. The reel core diameter is 12 feet.

With a drilling capacity of 4000 feet, the typical well runs about 2500 feet with a 6¼-inch diameter. The 20-foot-

long progressive cavity type mud motor is 4¾ inches O.D. and includes the extended power nozzle for extra torque.

Stall torque is 6900 ft-lbs and maximum speed is 220 rpm based on volume of 300 gpm.

Keep in mind that this torque only drives the bit and does not turn drill pipe or coiled tubing. We find progressive cavity designs in pumps such as Moyno.

This motor takes mud fluid volume to set the rpm of the bit, and mud pressure determines the output torque of the motor to the bit. Although units on the rigs shown are nonsteerable, a directional motor for coiled tubing drilling is in the field on a trial basis (as of October 2002) and performance looks promising. The motor is coupled to the bit with a constant velocity (CV) joint and bearings.

In addition to the mud motor, a topdrive and automated catwalk provide the capability to drill with conventional sizes of drill pipe and handle this pipe automatically. The rigs are equipped with an 44/ March 2011 Water Well Journal

More About the Con-Cor System Text and picture supplied by Clyde Willis and courtesy of Walker-Neer Apache Co. A Con-Cor drill string was used by an oil well drilling contractor to resolve a loss of circulation problem encountered at 12,000 feet. The bit hit a cave and free-fell 30 feet to the cave’s floor.

Concurrently, the level of liquids in the hole dropped to approximately 3500 feet and stayed at that level. Essentially, all traditional circulation recovery methods and materials were tried without NGWA.org

success during a period of several months. To resolve this situation, a 5000-foot string of Con-Cor drill pipe was set above the 7000 feet of conventional drill pipe and the bottom hole assembly.

Walker-Neer’s patented ADSS (air diffuser staging subs) were set at predetermined levels in the Con-Cor string.

An ADSS is an annular check valve that opens when pressure in the Con-Cor pipe annulus is significantly higher than the pressure in the inner tube. The highpressure air is forced through a ring of upwardly directed very small orifices, causing high-velocity upward directed jets. The volume of air injected at any particular level is controlled by the size and number of the orifices and of course the ambient pressures at the level of the jet. Properly sized and located, the air jets greatly reduce pressure—i.e., cause suction—at the bit and cause liquids to rise to the surface at high speeds. ADSS enable any given air pressure to be passed into the inner tube at deeper levels in the hole than would otherwise be possible for the particular compressor.

In this instance, air diffuser staging subs were placed in the 5000-foot Con-Cor drill string to inject 1000 psi compressed air from the pipe annulus into the inner tube at various levels.

Circulation was regained and the hole was drilled to its 13,000-foot targeted level.

Resolutions to Make Today

1. When writing specs for a new rig, consider the entire drilling program before selecting the type of rotary drive.

2. Actually read the trade journals to keep up with all the current drilling technology.

3. When buying parts or a new rig, establish a personal contact with the design engineer for the product to get engineering specifications rather than sales talk.

More About Swivels and Seals

ears ago the kelly bar drill rig ruled the day, but the top-head drive drill is in more demand.

This design of drill rig is being used across all industries (water well, construction, environmental, HDD drilling, mineral exploration, blast hole, oil field, and oil field well servicing).

The common top-head drive drill has moved the rotating element of the drill rig from the rig floor table into the mast.

This allows for quicker pipe makeup, better control over the hole, and a reduction of overall drilling time. You are no longer picking up a 20- to 40-foot kelly just to add another stick of drill pipe.

The design of these top-head drives differ greatly, from a simple hollowshaft hydraulic motor to big loadbearing gear boxes having fluid passages to 6 inches and hoisting capacity of more than 750 tons.

The only things these designs have in common is the need to provide a pressure seal for the drilling element and provide a transition point from the stationary part of the rig to the rotating part. This is the purpose of the swivel.

Swivels for these applications differ greatly and we will discuss the different ways and types being used mostly in the water well, environmental, and mining applications.

The first way is using a side inlet swivel (Figure 1). This unit is threaded onto the lower connection of the shaft of the power head. This design allows fluids to enter the drill pipe below the power head. This type of swivel is used mainly on power heads having a solid shaft or when the fluid passage of the power head spindle is not large enough for the volume of fluid required for a particular application of drilling.

The side inlet swivel is also used in the mineral exploration market (dual tube drilling) for the air inlet. This unit allows the cuttings to pass through or be discharged above the air inlet.

Another way is to have the swivel designed directly into the power head.

46/ March 2011 Water Well Journal

Figure 1. Side inlet swivel.

This type is used on many of the newer types of drill rigs. It is a space-saving design, and when properly designed, it can provide a wide range of applications for the drillers.

The last way is incorporating a complete swivel into the power head design and/or retro fitting it onto the end of the power head shaft. This is called a rotating head (Figure 2). A rotating head is a complete swivel that is threaded or bolted onto the top of the power thread shaft. The biggest problem with the use of a rotating head is trying to fit the proper unit (fluid passage and packing type) onto the top of the power head and between the hydraulic motors.

As stated earlier, the purpose of a swivel is to provide a pressure seal and

a transition point from the stationary point of the drill to the rotating part of the drill. The design of these swivels differs greatly. The design of the swivel in or onto these power heads should address the different applications of the drill, working pressures of each application, and rotating speeds associated with these applications.

In the design of this seal you must look at many different points before a line is drawn on paper. What is the main application of this top-head drive?

What is the range of working pressures and speeds? And do you have a space limitation? A design can be selected once these questions are answered.

Figure 2. Rotating head.

TRANSFER OF TECHNOLOGY/from page 46

The main elements in providing this rotating seal are the packing types and the alignment of this assembly. Alignment of the packing is critical to proper packing life. The alignment of the packing assembly is provided by the bearings of the power head in conjunction with the use of alignment pilots on the top of the power head to the bonnet. If the packing assembly (regardless of the type of packing being used) is not properly aligned with the shaft of the power head, packing life will suffer greatly.

Packing types and designs differ greatly. You cannot have one seal that will provide a good seal at 50 psi and 48/ March 2011 Water Well Journal

works well at 1000 psi. One side of this pressure range is going to suffer. It will work, but packing life will be reduced on one of these applications.

The two common ways of providing this rotating seal is the face seal (rubber packing rings riding on a hardened steel wear bushing) and the Chevron V-ring (V-rings wearing on a hardened steel wash pipe). Both are good, but each has its application.

The rubber face seal is best suited for a working pressure range from 0 to 300 psi while the Chevron V-ring is best on the higher pressures (Figure 3).

Many newer top-head drives are being designed with a bonnet assembly incorporating a cartridge type of pack-

ing assembly into this bonnet; this allows the packing assembly to be changed for the various drilling conditions. The rubber ring packing assembly is for the lower pressure drilling and a Chevron packing when higher working pressures are required.

If properly designed, changes from one packing assembly to another can be done quickly and with little downtime.

In addition, with the various packings available (rubber ring and Chevron Vring and their various compounds), finding the right packing type for a drilling application is just a matter of talking with the drill manufacturer.

Another thing to consider while thinking about the packing assembly for a top-head drive is the required fluid passage that is needed for your application. The larger the packing assembly (packing size), the faster it will wear.

A packing assembly providing a 5-inch I.D. will wear quicker than an assembly having a 2-inch I.D. This is mainly because of the surface speed in feet per minute.

The I.D. of the packing assembly should be equal to the I.D. of your drill pipe. There is no reason to have a 5-inch I.D. packing assembly and use 2½-inch I.D. drill pipe. All this does is cost you money and downtime while changing the packing. Always try to match the I.D. of the packing assembly to the I.D. of the drill pipe.

To sum it up, the top-head drive drills are here to stay and the sky is the limit in their applications. The swivel (packing assembly) is a small part of the power head design, but is very important. If you cannot get the drilling element into the drill pipe and rotate, you do not drill a hole. A properly designed packing assembly matched for your drilling application can and will increase the profitability of your drilling operation.

Creating an Ethical Workplace Good ethics lead to a better business and bottom line.

ocusing on having good ethics in an organization is a good business decision.

A strong ethical culture makes business sense from a compliance perspective, and it protects the company physically and financially. An ethical culture that builds respect and trust among its people also adds significantly to a company’s competitive edge.

The values of an organization are what the organization feels is important.

Ethics are how the organization implements and applies those values. Companies that move beyond only a focus on compliance and adopt an organizationwide ethical culture dramatically reduce misconduct, resulting in a better workplace and a better bottom line.

F

●

Cultivate leaders who create a culture of character and support a continuing discussion company-wide that makes ethics a top priority.

●

●

Guide employees in situations where the ethical course of action is not immediately obvious.

Help the company reinforce, and acquaint new employees with, its culture and values. A code can help create a climate of integrity and excellence.

●

●

●

● ● ●

Help the company communicate its expectations to the staff and its suppliers, vendors, and customers. Also, by soliciting feedback and questions, a company can use the code to encourage frequent, open, and honest communication among employees.

Minimize subjective and inconsistent management standards. An ethics code explicitly outlines the rights and responsibilities of staff members and helps guard against capricious and preferential treatment of employees.

Help a company remain in compliance with complex OSHA standards and other government regulations.

Build public trust and enhance business reputations.

Offer protection in preempting or defending against lawsuits.

Enhance morale, employee pride and loyalty, and the recruiting of outstanding employees.

Why an Ethics Program?

Companies should have an ethics program to promote ethical behavior— not to enhance productivity, profits, or public relations. An ethics code can benefit a company in a variety of ways.

It can:

●

To begin the process of creating an ethics program, or reviewing one already in place, management should conduct an ethics assessment that examines the company’s:

● ● ●

Corporate activity and culture Ethics approach and compliance Ethics policies and procedures Employees’ cultural perceptions Ongoing ethics program monitoring Ethics oversight and review Ethical decision-making procedures Ethics support resources Management and leadership practices Rewards for ethical behavior Past ethical issues and misconduct Ethics education and training.

As part of the ethics assessment, an organization should conduct a critical in-depth review of how it conducts its business and how it creates and sustains its culture. This in-depth review, together with an evaluation of the elements shown above, should give management a detailed snapshot of the way the organization conducts business.

Creating the Ethics Program Employees should participate in creating the ethics program and enforcement procedures. Involving employees in developing the ethical code instills a sense of personal ownership and individual responsibility to live up to these standards.

Begin the process by creating an ethics code. Write it down like a mission statement and make every employee aware of it. Be sure company leaders model the code every day in visible ways. Each employee needs to have a personal ethics code as well that connects back to the corporate code. The corporate ethics code can be revised as needed to meet changing business NGWA.org

requirements, so long as any changes are well communicated throughout the organization.

Make the code come alive. Cultivate leaders who create a culture of character and support a continuing discussion company-wide that makes ethics a top priority. That includes having regular meetings on building an ethical culture.

It also includes publicizing “case studies” of leaders in different business situations who embody a culture of character that employees can model themselves on.

Implementing the Program When implementing an ethics code, an organization should consider including the following: ● ● ● ● ● ●

Relevant compliance laws Ongoing employee ethics training Ethical decision-making models Designating an ethics resource person Identifying ethical problems previously encountered in the workplace Opportunities for role-playing and contemplating identified problems

●

●

Access to in-house ethics information, education, and communication processes A confidential mechanism for reporting instances of unethical conduct.

There are many threats to an organization that could impede management’s attempts to create and sustain an ethical workplace. These might include: ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●

Minimal employee guidance for dilemmas within the code of ethics Hiring and promoting individuals with questionable backgrounds Unreasonable or unwarranted firings or advancements Retaliation against an employee who has spoken up Inadequate ethics training Unrealistic expectations Lack of an appropriate and consistent response to claims of misconduct Pervasive nonquestioning of and obedience to authority Inadequate communication channels Ineffective support mechanisms.

Remember that creating and maintaining an ethical workplace starts at the

top of the management chain and trickles down throughout the organization.

Ethical leadership is about character, performance, and principled behavior.

When employees see these values in action day after day, they tend to model themselves after management.

The question for the organization is always whether the employees’ view of the tone from the top is in alignment with management’s view of its own behavior. If there is a disconnect between how the employees perceive the tone from the top and the perception held by management, then management should conduct a self-evaluation to review and identify reasons for this discrepancy.

Companies do not behave ethically by chance—they are created and supported to operate in such a way. By implementing an effective ethics program and providing ethics support mechanisms, companies can create and sustain an ethical workplace. This will reduce putting their reputation at risk as well as potential losses of financial assets, physical property, and valuable human resources. WWJ

Internal Excellence Our customers tell us everything we need to know. have talked about internal excellence driving the customer experience in columns past. It was the point made in the business tool from the 1990s titled “The Balanced Scorecard”—with the critical element that our customers will tell us everything we need to know if we only ask.

A powerful program that is simple to get going is what I will call “The Voice of the Customer.” How do you obtain information from the customer on their needs and wants? You ask, of course.

I would like this to become more formalized in your business. How about once a month, or once a quarter, you take a week and ask a question to each and every customer that you touch?

Pretty simple, isn’t it? You are already talking with them about something, so it would be a simple extension to the discussion to say, “While we are talking, let me ask a question.” Your customers will be more than willing to give their opinions. So ask.

I

Ask and Receive What I propose is that you have the same question asked to each customer for a complete week.

For instance, “What service would you like us to offer that we don’t offer at the moment?” Or, “What should our hours of operation be to assist in your Ron Slee is the founder of R.J. Slee & Associates in Rancho Mirage, California, a consulting firm that specializes in dealership operations.

This is the perfect time to reenergize the organization and the marketplace.

being able to use our products and services more easily?” Another could be, “What is it we do that you would like to see us stop doing?”

These are but a few simple examples, but I’m sure you get the idea. There are many questions you could ask that once you had the answers you would find them helpful.

Get all the answers from the customers and compile them. At the end of the week you will have a very comprehensive list of answers. Review the list and put all the similar comments together until you are able to make a list of the top 10. Then call some of your customers back, people who participated in the poll. Ask them if they would rank your 10 choices for you.

Then you have the ranking to deal with your business.

Do you remember the starting point from “The Balanced Scorecard”? Ask your customers what they need and want, and that will tell you where you need to excel. Well, you’ll now know from this monthly poll what they want and need. Sit down and discuss it with your employees and ask them what they think they need to excel at in order to satisfy the needs and wants expressed in this poll.

Now everyone is involved in the process, aren’t they? This is a wonderful opportunity to get all your employees to participate in developing your business.

This is also their opportunity to show what they believe and know, and what they want to do with their jobs and customer service. It is a win-win all the way around—for the business, your customers, and your employees. In the end it will be a win for you too.

So go ahead and implement the changes that will make a difference to the customer. Make sure they are operating properly and then call some of the other customers who participated and ask them if they have noticed a difference based on their input and what you have done as a result of the poll.

Whether they have noticed or not, it will be a boost to them to hear that you have listened to “the voice of the customer” and taken action.

Be Progressive With the past two years of a difficult market and the glimmer of hope on the horizon, this is the perfect time to reenergize the organization and the marketplace. Your customers want you to be leading the market. Your employees need a boost of confidence. “The Voice of the Customer” is a great way to build some confidence and excitement. It’s a progressive, positive project that involves your customers and your employees. It’s a case of “Be careful what you ask for . . . you might just get it.”

Have fun selling so we get back to growth and opportunities again. I’m ready, aren’t you? WWJ NGWA.org

You’re Never Too Young to Sell Here are 12 ways to develop your skills and overcome customers’ concerns when you’re starting out in sales.

young rep for a well-known investment firm rang my doorbell recently, trying to drum up a new customer in the age-old tradition of door-to-door salesmen.

I wasn’t surprised he had come to my door, but I was taken aback that he was only in his early 20s and asking me to entrust my finances to him.

If you’re young and in sales, please ignore my initial reaction—and congratulations! I remember when I started selling in my early 20s. People used to suggest I wait 10 years and then start my sales career so I would have more credibility. I didn’t listen to their wellmeaning advice and I just kept selling.

You should, too.

Here are 12 suggestions on overcoming a customer’s concern about a salesperson’s youthfulness.

A

1. Find a mentor.

Seek out someone you connect with who’s experienced in your field and is willing to invest in you. Many successful people had mentors who aided in their achievement, and now they may want to return the favor.

Don’t assume your mentor has to be your gender. A young woman could learn a lot from a mature woman mentor and she could also learn a lot from a mature man. Remember that your menMichelle Nichols is a professional sales speaker, trainer, and consultant based in Reno, Nevada. Her Savvy Selling Success Pack is available through NGWA.

54/ March 2011 Water Well Journal

Read, observe, research, listen—and learn.

Pay attention to what clients, other professionals, and trusted resources are saying.

tor will probably learn some new ideas from you, too.

2. Dress to impress.

Make sure your clothes and sales tools are high-quality and conservative, but have a touch of youthfulness. For example, this could mean navy pants with a conservatively cut yellow shirt or eye-catching eyeglasses. You don’t want to look dowdy, but you don’t want to look risky either.

3. Invest in well-designed sales materials.

valued your happiness because it wanted your continued patronage. Now the tables have turned. The people you call on these days are the customers, and they don’t care about how you feel. All they care about is how you can make them better off, so that’s where to keep your focus.

5. Make your youthfulness beneficial.

No matter what you sell, find a benefit for customers to buy from someone your age. Going back to the example of that young man selling investments who rang my doorbell, maybe he thought his edge was that he understands the latest technologies and can advise his clients on stocks in a way that many 50-yearold advisers might not be able to. If you’re selling water well drilling services, your edge could be that you have a college degree and understand the science behind the latest technologies and techniques.

6. Be authentic.

Quality business cards, letterhead, Web sites, and other materials have a significant impact on the client’s initial perceived value of you and your business. Good design gives you a chance to stand out and breeds confidence for both you and your clients.

Find one unique aspect or interest of yours to share with your potential clients. Perhaps you’re from New York City, or love Irish dancing, or raise chinchillas for a hobby. Share this with your clients, perhaps through a funny pin or tie you wear or a small gift you give them. You will stand out from the generic, cookie-cutter masses.

4. Remember who the customer is.

7. Perfect your patter.

You have probably been a customer your whole life. The college you went to

Practice your presentation and stories so that you sound confident and don’t NGWA.org

stumble when you speak. Share examples and information that show your guidance is thoughtful and valuable.

8. Develop a client portfolio.

Get practical experience to build your skills and a portfolio of clients, even if you initially work at a reduced cost to obtain them. Those initial clients can also refer you to their friends for more experience—and sales.

9. Connect with your connections.

It turns out the young salesman at my door had been a leader in his fraternity and contacted its alumni. That way, he knew he wasn’t calling complete strangers—after all, they both knew the same secret handshake—and could find willing buyers or get leads on prospects.

complaints, compliments, fears, and areas of confusion to focus on. You may also uncover new niches to serve, materials to develop, and jargon to familiarize yourself with.

Let’s face it, selling when you’re young is tough work. However, the only way 45-year-old salespeople gain 20 years of experience is by starting when they’re in their early 20s—just like that young man on my doorstep. So if you’re a young salesperson, don’t get discouraged. Apply these ideas and get going.

Happy selling! WWJ

10. Ask smart questions.

Good questions put the focus on the client’s needs, demonstrate competence, and clarify understanding. Questioning is an undervalued skill that may hide some of your knowledge gaps and help you better understand your client’s needs and desires, too. Example questions to start the conversation: “How soon will you need this project completed?” “What would a good outcome look like for you?”

11. Create and offer free information.

Give materials—both printed and online—that provide information of value to your potential and existing clients.

This will help position you as a resource and a legitimate expert in your field.

These materials also give you a reason to follow up. You can ask if customers and prospects had a chance to review them and if you could answer any questions or provide them with any further information. Then find out if they’re ready to buy.

Even though your formal education has ended, your informal education has just begun. See the world as your university. Read, observe, research, listen—and learn. Pay attention to what clients, other professionals, and trusted resources are saying. Look for common NGWA.org

UNLEADED VALVES

Constant Pressure Pump Control Valves The Cycle GardÂŽ Constant Pressure Pump Control Valves automatically regulates the downstream pressure and provides a constant pressure until the demand in the system is no longer required. Depending on the model valve an integral or external low flow by-pass allows the system pressure to slowly rise under low demand and fill the tank or reservoir until the pressure switch setting is reached shutting the pump off. ÂŽ

The Cycle Gard Constant Pressure Pump Control Valves maintain a constant pressure, eliminates the pump from cycling, are hydraulically operated requiring no electrical service. The Cycle GardÂŽ eliminates the effect of water hammer, extends the pump motor life and allows for reduced tank size. All the Cycle GardÂŽ valves have a 3 year warranty.

Increased Diesel Fuel Storage (30 Gallons)

Fully Equipped Weight Under 12,000 lbs with Lower Center of Gravity

New Auto-Drop Hammer with Improved Hammering Capability & Functionality Stronger Mast with a Larger Foot for Increased Stability

Run Everything from a Single Control Panel

NEW 60 HP John Deere, Liquid-Cooled Diesel Engine.

Remote with improved controls and the ability to operate dozer, outriggers, track speed, engine idle, and emergency stop.

Dozer blade also functions as an outrigger and accessory carrier.

The Solinst Peristaltic Pump is ideally suited for water or vapor sampling from shallow wells and surface water.

Compact, lightweight, and water resistant, it is field durable. The robust metal case with no vents, grates, or openings makes it convenient to maintain and repair. A simple connection to a 12V DC power source provides operation. One control enables reversible flow and various speeds, which allows high- or lowflow sampling. The pump can be fitted with two sizes of silicone tubing. The standard ⅝-inch tubing can give flow rates to almost 1 gpm, while optional ⅜inch tubing allows rates as low as 0.01 gpm, ideal for low-flow sampling. The pump tubing connects to smaller diameter downhole tubing for high sample integrity. It is effective to depths up to the suction lift limit that can be as much as 33 feet at sea level.

ADVANTAGES OF SURGE BLOCK

Most effective way to develop any well Produce more water, less color and turbidity Only the surge block method “back washes” the well screen, removing clay bridges Flexible wiper creates suction and pulls water into screen (not available with other methods) Constructed of inert materials Capable of lifting water over 50 feet Ball valve prevents water from flowing back into well, will not clog with sediments One person operation Inexpensive and disposable after each use (prevents cross-well contamination) Fast and saves time
