Have you ever wondered why you seem to hit it off right away with some customers, while with others it's more like oil and water? That's because we respond intuitively to the natural chemistry, or lack thereof, between temperament styles.
Drilling and sampling of boreholes represents important components of virtually all hydrogeologic investigations and ground water monitoring programs. Drilling should cause as little disturbance of the subsurface as possible.
The specialty geotechnical construction processes of routing, anchoring, micropiling, soil nailing and ground freezing all require the drilling of holes through overburden and rock. Part 1 of the article series focused on rock drilling; here, we look at overburden drilling.
Typical winter weather conditions couldn't dampen the spirits of those attending the 2006 Pacific Northwest Ground Water Exposition, Feb. 3-4, in Portland, Ore.
The primary function of the pressure tank in a pumped water system is to protect the pump motor, which is accomplished by storing water under pressure so the pump does not have to come on every time there is a small, intermittent demand for water.
The Texas Ground Water Association (TGWA) held its 59th annual convention and trade show Jan. 24-27 at the Moody Gardens Hotel in Galveston, Texas, a destination designed for the whole family.
In last month's article, I dealt with the white-collar segment of construction industry theft represented by embezzlement. Now, let's turn our attention to the more common problems associated with the theft of tools, equipment and materials, which can be thought of as construction's “blue collar” crime wave.
Engineering researchers at the University of Arkansas have invented a simple, scalable machine that can help create clean drinking water more effectively and efficiently than conventional systems. As its name implies, the Supersaturated Dissolved Oxygen or Ozone Injector shoots a stream of water saturated with either gas directly into a body of water so that harmful substances may be removed before people drink the water.
