Well Installations

Profile Drilling is a licensed well contractor with the Ministry of Environment and is capable of installing all types of water, soil and gas monitoring wells. Our well sizes range from ¾" to 6" inside diameter and are either PVC or stainless steel. Our wide range of equipment enables us to install monitoring wells indoors, outdoors and in all types of overburden and rock. Depending on the rig and conditions we can install monitors up to a depth of 250’. Our installations are all in accordance with ministry Regulation 903.

For 2" and 6”wells we use our hollow stem augers. These augers provide an excellent sand pack and seal. Our ¾" and 1" monitors are installed through our dual tubes and can come with pre-packed screens if so desired.

We finish each well with a stick up monument casing or a flush mount casing to protect the pipe. A well log is filled out and a well tag is firmly affixed to each well upon completion.

All operators at Profile Drilling have their well technician's licenses and are fully trained to install monitoring wells properly.

Rigs

  • AMS 9700 VTR PRO

    This Direct Push rig is mounted on a Rubber Track. This rig is set up to work on more diverse terrain. It handles slopes, fields and areas where a truck would get stuck. Once again it has a powerful auger head to install 2” monitors with the proper annular space requirements.

  • Mobile B-60

    This rig is our most powerful rig with over 19,000 ft-lbs of torque. This rig is set up to hollow stem auger with a size of up to 10 ¼”hollow stems and core rod of up to PQ. This rig is also set up to do Mud rotary with PQ. This allows us to sample and install wells to depths up to 300’ in over burden.

  • Mobile B-45 HD

    Our smallest traditional rig. Having slightly less torque than the Diedrich it has the smallest platform and is designed to get into tighter spaces that the larger rigs cannot.

  • Diedrich D-50

    This rig is our intermediate rig. Once again it is rubber tracked to allow us to get to remote locations. With its hollow stem augers it is capable of SPT/CPT sampling and monitoring well installation.

  • SonicSampDrill. SRS (Small Roto Sonic)

    The SonicSamp SRS offers all the advantages of a larger sonic rig in a smaller more affordable package. Relying on true 150 Hz sonic vibration and state of the art thin wall tooling for optimal energy transfer, the SRS can get you the soil data you need in the most challenging conditions.
