]]> Well hydrofracturing involves opening up cracks in the rock to facilitate water flow. In this specific case, it was a newly drilled 400-foot (105-meter) well with a low flow rate of ten gallons of water per hour, making it an unviable well. This is a typical case; it happens very often in the Laurentians and Lanaudière regions that water yield is low during drilling. To improve the situation, well hydrofracturing is required. To do this, a hydraulic balloon must be inserted into the well to pass a large volume of water at high pressure. The balloon can be placed at various depths. The packer seals the well, and water is injected. In this case, we performed an initial pressurization of the well at 80 feet and another at 150 feet. During the first test, the pressure rose to 1,300 psi before the water began to flow, and during the second test, the pressure rose to 3,000 psi. Well hydrofracturing is generally successful; following the hydrofracturing, we achieved a flow rate of approximately 100 gallons of water per hour.

]]> Overview

We recently completed a water treatment and artesian well pump project in Saint-Donat, on the shores of Lac Blanc. The goal was to drill the artesian well while disposing of the debris as far away from the lake as possible, ensuring both safety and efficiency in the drilling process.

Project Details

  • Location: Saint-Donat, near Lac Blanc
  • Depth of the artesian well: 240 feet
  • Flow rate: 600 gallons of water per hour

We used a tracked drill rig to dig the well. This type of drill is smaller and more maneuverable than wheel-mounted drills, making it easier to position on complex terrains.

Why use a tracked drill rig?

  • Maneuverability: Ideal for hard-to-access terrains.
  • Precision: Allows for drilling in specific areas without damaging the surrounding land.
  • Flexibility: Can be used for projects where space is limited.

Thanks to this drill rig, the project was a success. We reached a depth sufficient to ensure a high water flow rate. The 240-foot artesian well produces 600 gallons of water per hour, enough to meet the needs of a medium-sized residence.

Treatment and Disinfection of the Artesian Well

After drilling, we proceeded with the disinfection of the artesian well. This ensures that the water remains clean and free of contaminants. The treatment includes the use of specific products to deeply cleanse the artesian well. Our experts then verify the water quality to ensure it is safe for consumption.

Debris Management and Drainage Systems

Since the well is located near the lake, we had to implement a drainage system to prevent drilling residues from reaching the lake. We installed two retention pits and sediment barriers to protect the environment. Our technicians also used discharge cones to direct the residues to safe areas.

Project Results

The final result was very satisfactory. The artesian well provides a consistent flow and the water is clean after treatment. Thanks to our services, the client can now use potable water without concern.
