A big thank you to Bartlett Well Drilling for getting the party started with us at the FLCC Culinary Center of Excellence in Canandaigua. This project took a strong team to manage the unexpected. Here are the details on the site...
⚠️ It is a Brownfield site where managing contaminated soils and water is top priority and overseen by the DEC
🌊 A neighboring site experienced ~100gpm of water when drilling - We had to be ready to tackle this!
🪨 The potential for deep bedrock based on nearby data
After completing 160' of rigorous drilling per bore with Bartlett's Schramm rig, getting us through thick clay to competent bedrock, we swapped out with Nothnagle to drill through rock to 500' with their Mark 70 Versa Drill.
Having teams with the experience, skill and best-fit equipment to get the job done makes for successful projects!
The biggest hurdle here, in addition to managing the regulations associated with a Brownfield site, was the water. One bore produced 4,000 gallons within a 40ft section. It varied throughout the project, but we anticipate we've captured 80,000+ gallons. Total gallons coming soon once the flow meter gives us our total post-discharge 🚰 💦
