Directional Technologies - Hydraulic Control Solutions for Groundwater Management
Hydraulic control, or groundwater control, is crucial in various fields such as construction, mining, and environmental remediation. If hydraulic control is the goal, then removing more water from the ground in less time is the means to achieve that goal. Horizontal wells can be precisely installed within the target subsurface zones to provide maximum hydraulic control so that other associated work can continue on schedule.
For environmental purposes, hydraulic control wells are used to manage groundwater and address contamination. In a vertical setting, dozens of wells may be installed in a line to intercept the migration of contaminated groundwater. Oftentimes, this strategy is used to prevent the contamination from mobilizing off-site into more sensitive areas, such as residential neighborhoods or wetlands. These vertical systems, however, rely on communication between the wells to create a sound hydraulic barrier.
