Our well design experience ranges from shallow infiltration galleries hundreds of feet long (City of Black Hawk, Colorado) to municipal water wells more than 2,000 feet deep. In either case, intake and pumping systems are designed to maximize production and well life while minimizing pumping and maintenance costs. Our clients include municipalities, special districts (including golf courses), mining companies, electrical power generating companies, and other industrial water users.

We focus on design, plans and specifications, and on construction observation. The design process includes selecting construction materials (casing diameter, material type and thickness, well screen type, opening size and filter pack gradation), drilling methods, drilling fluids, and well development methods that best match the aquifer. We feel that observation during construction is essential so that the completed well is consistent with the design and so that the design is adjusted to the actual geology encountered during drilling.

Once the well is completed and tested, we can design the pumping system to match the aquifer capacity while considering expected well drawdown (change in water level during pumping) and regional water level decline predictions in the future. We have experience designing constant speed pumps with soft starters or variable speed pumps (either line shaft turbines or submersibles), shallow and deep settings, and low and medium voltage systems.
