The Waukesha, Wisconsin, pipeline project faced a significant challenge when an unlocated sewer forced the team to redesign the HDD path, leading to a novel approach using both HDPE and RJ-DIP pipe types in the installation. https://ow.ly/OQNS50UbRPR

It's all about Depth and Redundancy And the next thing you know, after a couple glasses of wine of course, your uncle Frank starts up the fracking argument again. You want to present a well-informed argument in support of the safety of the practice, but don’t have the concepts nailed down yet. To help with those fracking conversations that you might have with friends and family during the holidays, here is some easy to understand information regarding why fracking itself has little to no impact on the environment. Depth: The reservoirs that contain the targeted oil and gas are generally 1 - 2 miles (1.6 - 3.2 km) deep - that's far away from groundwater. According to the USGS, the median groundwater depth for domestic and municipal supplies is about 200 ft (65 meters). Therefore, there is approximately a mile or so of rock (much of it is very low permeability aka “impervious”) between drinking water supplies and the source of the oil and gas. Redundancy: A series of telescoping casing strings are set from the surface to the target reservoir, which is again, 1-2 miles below the surface. The casing is made of steel and is cemented in place. As the diagram below shows, there are several layers of casing and cement between the groundwater and the inside of the production string. In sum, tell Uncle Frank that it’s all good. #fracking #groundwater #oilandgas #energysecurity

Impact pile driving, Jask, Iran Pile driving is commonly used in the construction of foundations for docks, bridges, wind turbines, and offshore oil and gas platforms. The most common technique of pile driving is impact pile driving. With this method, a heavy weight is lifted and dropped against the top of a pile (a wood, steel, or reinforced concrete, pole), driving it into the substrate. Pile driving produces high sound pressure levels in both the surrounding air and underwater environment. Sound levels vary substantially, and the size of the hammer, diameter of the pile, as well as properties of the seafloor, influence the source level and frequency of the signals generated. During impact pile driving, sound from the hammer striking the pile radiates into the air and a pulse propagates down the length of the pile and into the substrate as well as the surrounding waters. #piling #marineconstruction #piledriving #marinework

Bill Alert! US House Bill HR 133 - To prohibit a moratorium on the use of hydraulic fracturing. Status: Bill Introduced Full Details: https://lnkd.in/eGcpTyys Bill 119 HR 133, also known as the "Hydraulic Fracturing Prohibition Act," aims to prevent any future moratorium on the use of hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking, in the United States. The bill was introduced in response to growing concerns about the potential economic and energy security implications of banning this controversial drilling technique. Hydraulic fracturing is a method of extracting natural gas and oil from underground ro...

Boreholes play a vital role in open-loop systems, supplying groundwater to heat pumps for temperature regulation, whether it's heating or cooling. 🧊🔥 In open-loop setups, 'Abstraction Boreholes' equipped with submersible pumps deliver water to the heat exchanger. To avoid a short circuit, the 'heat altered' groundwater is then directed to a second 'Recharge Borehole.' Ready to embark on an open-loop groundsource project? Click below to learn more.
