LEACHATE ABSTRACTION WELL - LANDFILL SITE

Meehan Drilling were awarded this contract after several other drilling contractors failed, as they were using conventional drilling methodologies.

Using our dual rotary rig, we installed a temporary string of casing to a depth of 30m. We then installed 30m of 315mm slotted polyethylene pipe. The temporary steel was then removed to allow the leachate to flow into the polyethylene pipe.
