6 Casing Pipe

 

The product line includes pipe and casing to include plain-end pipe, threaded pipe, fabricated pipe, and precision-fit fabricated parts. Most of the threaded Line Pipe (up to 20' O.D.) is sold to the water well industry as Pump Column. The threaded (or grooved) Ductile Iron Pipe is sold mainly to waterworks jobbers.

PVC Well Information... The use of PVC well casing for private water wells has been part of Wisconsin's Private Well Code (NR 812) since 1975, but many people in central Wisconsin have never heard of a PVC well! The primary reason is that much of the drilling conditions in this area require the use of 6' steel casing in any (bedrock) formation where the casing cannot be advanced. In the same code revision, the reasoning that went into requiring steel casing in bedrock wells was that, if a troublesome formation were encountered in the open bedrock formation below the casing, and you could not drive the casing further to seal off the problem area, a liner could be installed allowing the well to be completed without having to start all over. Furthermore, steel was required as there was concern that the trauma of drilling through PVC casing may damage it. Because of this requirement, many of the well drillers over the past nearly 40 years have optimized their equipment to construct 6' steel wells very efficiently.

There are many areas of Wisconsin that have sand & gravel formations over the bedrock. While some people choose to have 2' wells & jet pump systems installed in these areas or believe that they must have a 6' steel well, we believe that there are many advantages to a PVC well. Let's cover some of those PVC advantages:
