Group Water System Design & Construction
Using carefully selected outside engineering services we can design, drill, and construct group B water systems for Western Washington developers & water purveyors. Using hydro geologists & professional engineers, the process starts with site planning, well site determination, and facility locations. Upon site selection and approval, drilling and subsequent testing can begin. Once drilling & pump testing are completed, an acquisition and distribution system is engineered & developed. Upon Washington State Department of Health and local jurisdiction approval, final system construction can begin.
Drilling & Pump Testing
Drilling generally proceeds as any normal drilling program would - geologic logs are found & a drilling plan is developed, estimated, and approved by the owner. Once completed, the well is typically pump tested according to standard draw down or step-draw down tests, usually lasting a minimum of four hours. This phase of the construction process typically takes 2 to 4 weeks.
Pump Installation & Distribution Systems
We recommend that any group system use a reservoir system to provide the ability to more cost effectively treat the product water, manage peak demand, provide pump redudancy, in well pump reliablity, etc. Ultimately, the distribution system will have to be designed by a qualified engineer, and then approved by the State Department of Health.
Costs
Costs estimates are available at the start of work, and can be updated as work progresses. Without known variables, such as size, location, and geology, there's no way to offer a cost estimate.
