Last
month, we talked about full voltage-start pump control panels. This month, we will
cover the other two main components in a standard panel – the contactor or
starter, and overload-protection devices -- as well as single-phase and current-unbalance protection
offered by panels.
Recently,
we had an occasion to need a permit to discharge some produced ground water in
a swamp. There were a pile of tests and standards we had to meet to get the
permit. Since we were discharging pure, unpolluted ground water into swamp that

no problem.
There are two common types of ground water sampling equipment used in direct-push technology methods – tools for obtaining one-time grab samples, and wells installed using DPT for short-term or long-term sampling.

Geology plays an important role in the success or failure of a core-drilling program. Many times, due to lack of geological information, the designed drilling system and operational parameters do not fulfill the desired objective, resulting in various geological and geotechnical problems. With proper understanding of the geology of the area under investigation, however, these problems can be avoided and minimized.
The closure of the former Ravenscraig Steelworks in Glasgow, Scotland, created one of the largest brownfield sites in Europe, measuring some 1,125 acres. Future plans for the site include a town center with zones comprising industrial, residential, retail, leisure and innovation.Raeburn Drilling and Geotechnical was appointed to undertake ground investigation within a 6-week timeframe.
