Well construction technology

 

Wells are built today in the most varying versions for a wide variety of applications.

The choice of the right well construction materials fundamentally determines the quality and longevity of a well.

 

For example, here you can see the various possibilities of construction with our STÜWA well configurator!

Depending on the location of the water catchment body, a differentiation is made between

  • Vertical drilled wells
  • Horizontal wells
  • Diagonal wells

Whereby all other versions are only limited to vertical drilled wells.

  • Drinking water wells or process water extraction wells which must transport water of sufficient quality over a long period of operation
  • Injection or absorbing wells which must allow the introduced water to seep away safely
  • Groundwater drawdown wells which are usually supposed to generate short-term large drawdowns with the lowest possible amount of water. The vacuum well, which is used in hard to drain soils, is a pioneering special form in this direction
  • Irrigation wells
  • Groundwater measuring points (water level), which are supposed to enable the measurement of changes in the groundwater level
  • Quality measuring points, which are mainly supposed to enable the withdrawal of water samples for analytical procedures, require a particularly thorough selection of suitable lining material.
