WDC Seminars
Drilling Fundamentals 101
A thorough overview of the fundamentals of drilling including hollow stem auger, sonic, air rotary casing hammer, stratex under-reaming, mud rotary, flooded reverse circulation and aquifer cross contamination prevention. The seminar is excellent for new field personnel or seasoned veterans needing a refresher. Attendees will leave the seminar with a clear understanding of what drilling method is economically and technically appropriate for differing sites.
Sonic Drilling
Offers an in depth study of the sonic drilling fundamentals, well construction, sonic head design, depth discreet water sampling, telescoping and over-reaming techniques, depth and diameter capabilities, and cross contamination prevention strategies.
Drilling Fluids Management
Students are educated in the fundamentals of mud properties and the benefits to well yields by maintaining appropriate mud programs while drilling. Portable mud pits utilizing linear motion shaker technology is also addressed.
Direct Push Technologies
Appropriate for use in the urban setting, Direct Push Technology serves many investigation procedures and remediation practices. Learn about dual wall sampling, discrete water sample recovery, and small diameter well construction in this hour long presentation, as well as the use of geophysical instrumentation to accelerate site characterization.
In-Situ Remediation Tools & Technologies
An introduction to the considerations and logistics involved in planning and executing in-situ injection projects. Topics covered include: tools and strategies for using temporary injection points and permanent injection wells, pump selection, mixing and batching systems, product measurement in the field and more. The seminar takes a strictly technical approach to getting products in the ground at the desired target zones and is applicable to a wide range of remediation materials from powerful chemical oxidation to food grade enhanced bio-remediation products.
Submerisble Pump Selection
This one-hour presentation starts with a description and reveiw of the internal workings of a submersible pump. An actual "cut-away" pump is provided for the attendee's hands-on experience. Pump system terminology is presented as the seminar moves into pumpsizing and selection. After a review of pump slection criteria, the class will be presented with a sample case study and exercise. The exercise sequentially revisits the seminar and gives students an opportunity to calculate the necessary system parameters to choose a pump based on data provided.
Certificate of completion will be provided for each hour of seminar attendance.
