INSTALLATIONS & TESTS
Inclinometers
An inclinometer, is an instrument used for measuring angles of slope/tilt and elevation/depression of an object with respect to gravity. They are known by various names, including gradiometer, tilt indicator and slope gauge.
Piezometers
A piezometer is an instrument for measuring the pressure of a liquid or gas. Piezometers are often placed in boreholes to monitor the pressure or depth of groundwater.
Monitoring Wells
We can install monitoring wells varying from 1" all the way up to 4" to fit your needs.
Well Abandonment
Landcore Drilling can properly decommission dug or drilled wells. We will remove existing equipment, well casing or tiles and properly seal the well according to strict MOE (Ministry of the Environment) abandonment regulations.
Single and Double Packer Testing
Hydraulic Testing (Packer Testing) consists of lowering a packer tool down through the casing to a specific depth. The rubber packers are designed to inflate using nitrogen gas, as the packer inflates it creates an impermeable seal between the packer and the borehole.
High pressure water is then pumped down the hole at 5 minute intervals to determine the hydraulic conductivity of the aquifer.
