Geotechnical Water Well Drilling Products
Bill Johnson Equipment Is A Trusted Supplier of A Wide Variety
of Quality Geotechnical Water Well Drilling Products
Asphalt
- Permanently patch pavement, parking lots, streets, and more after drilling
- Helps restore the jobsite to a safe and drivable condition
- Essential for municipal drilling projects
- Reduces liability by patching drilled spots
- Helps contractors comply with local regulations
- Mositure-resistant packaging
- Can be compacted by ahnd or with a plate compactor
Augers
- Essential for geotechnical investigations, including SPT's, soil borings, environmental monitoring wells, and foundation exploration
- Widely used in shallow water well drillings, dewatering wells, piezometers, and exploratory boreholes
- Transports cuttings to the surface
- Ideal for unconsolidated formations like clay, silt, sand, loam, and weathered shale
- Available in a wide range of varieties
- Available in standard or heavy-wall configurations
- Solid-stem augers for shallow water wells, test holes, and enironmental drilling where borehole stability is sufficient
- Hollow-stem augers allow sampling tools, split-spoon samplers, Shelby tubes, or well casing to be advanced through the center of the auger without removing the drill string
- Continuous flight augers provide efficient removal of cuttings while maintaining a consistent borehole diameter
- Compatible with multiple cutter heads
Auger Bolts
- Secures augers together
- High-strength alloy steel
- Resists loosening from constant vibration, rotation, and reversing
- Available in various diameters and lengths
- OEM-quality
- Quality-made, critical safety component
Auger Cutter Heads
- Penetrates unconsolidated formations
- Replaceable carbide teeth
- Pilot point or center tooth
- Different tooth configurations
- Carbide-tipped cutters
- GEotechnical soil borings
- Environmental monitoring wells
- Soil sampling
- Foundation investigations
- Test hole drilling
Auger Plugs
- Seals the bottom of hollow-stem augers
- Maintain a clean, unobstructed center column, allowing accurate soil sampling once target depth is reached
- Prevent formation material from plugging the auger so you can reach the center of the hollow-stem auger
- Helps preserve sample integrity
- Essential for Standard Penetration Tests (SPT's) and Shelby tube sampling
- Manufactured from durable steel to withstand drilling forces
- Available in multiple diameters
- DEsigned for quick retrieval using a wireline, retrieval rod, or specialized overshot tool
- Reduces the risk of cross-contamination
- Improves borehole stability
- Re-usable with proper cleaning and inspection techniques
Auger Teeth
- Essential component for geotechnical applications, soil borings, SPT's, environmental drilling, foundation investigations, and monitoring well installations
- Primary cutting component that breaks apart soil, clay, gravel, and weathered rock during drilling
- Mounted to the auger cutter head
- Carbide-tipped teeth provide exceptional wear resistance compared to hardened steel teeth in abrasive formations
- Different tooth styles available for soft soils, dense clay, gravel, cobbles, and fractured rock
- Sharp auger teeth reduce drilling torque, enabling faster penetration and less stress on the drill rig
- Replaceable teeth helps avoid costly complete replacement of auger cutter head
- Quality teeth that increases penetration rate, improves borehole quality, reduces equipment wear, and increases efficiency so crews complete more jobs per day
Bentonite
- Chips
- Used to seal the annular space around monitoring wells and piezometers
- Expands when hydrated
- Cretaes low-permeability barrier
- Prevents surface water contamination
- Ideal for well abandonment
- Easy to pour
- Drilling mud
- Bentonite powder
- Stabilizes borehole walls during drilling
- Brings cuttings to the surface
- Helps cool and lubricate drilling tools
- Forms thin filter cake that minimizes fluid loss into permeable formations
- Widely used in geotechnical water well rotary drilling
- Granular
- Fine-grain sealing material that fills small voids and irregular spaces around casing
- Provides excellent sealing characteristics in environmental and geotechnical boreholes
- Flows easily into narrow annular spaces where chips may bridge
- Can be used for well abandonment or sealing shallow boreholes
- Expands upon hydration
- Grout
- Used to permanently seal the annular space around well casing
- Protects aquifers by preventing vertical migration of groundwater and contaminants
- Often specified by state and local well construction regulations
- Provides long-term borehole integrity while meeting environmental compliance
- Pellets
- Coated, uncoated
- Designed for fast, controlled placement in the annular space around monitoring wells
- Creates an effective seal that prevents vertical groundwater migration
- Frequently used aboved well screens
