4′ diameter steel cased well hoisted directly from wetlands. No impact to surrounding area. No clean up. Total elapsed time 1.5 hrs.
OWRD Variance approval- limited access deep well decommission
Yes. We can safely drill an extraction well back there.
420M limited access probe and concrete core gun; highly versatile combination!
Interesting DEQ project-limited access decommission in Oregon
Steadfast was given the task to decommission a strategically located well in an immaculately groomed residential property. As you can see the access pictures before we started, that conventional over-drill methods would cause more harm than good.
We put great emphasis on not only customer services for our clients, but also greater community that was inconvenienced by the clean up efforts for the environment. Vac abandonment method is now an approved decommission method that does not require a variance from Oregon Water Resources Dept. Clean up was quick and easy requiring only top soil and grass seed to restore the well box area to its former glory 🙂
A little safety can go along way. Back injuries are preventable.
The use of lighter weight standard duty augers and material trays to alleviate lifting and strain helped us get through 2016 injury free. Providing the correct tool and training is key to a functional safety culture.
Limited Access Direct Push; 420M Geoprobe- the dry cleaners best friend.
MC7 DPT Sampling @ Gasco
Data Gap sampling with sonic core volume at Direct Push costs. The best of both worlds!




Indoor versatility!
Always nice to get in out of the PNW rain 🙂
Transition from Superfund site back to the community! Transition phase…..
Two deep 4″ wells decommissioned so construction development could continue and one lone deep well could continue its work at new ground surface. Although heavy equipment was rained out for access a little ingenuity keep Steadfast working and the schedule intact.
