He is a licensed well driller in Texas, Arizona and Louisiana and holds RG/PG certifications in Texas, Missouri, Louisiana and Tennessee. Bardsley has a Bachelor of Science degree in Geology & Geophysics along with a Communications Minor (1984) from the University of Missouri-Rolla. David has been directly involved in the design and installation oversight of over 100,000’ of horizontal environmental and water supply wells. He was an early leader in the use of horizontal drilling to solve environmental and water supply challenges and has authored/co-authored over twenty papers on horizontal environmental drilling methodology. He started his career as a drill rig helper advancing through various technical and managerial positions in both small and large drilling companies. Beach has consulted for municipalities, water supply corporations, industrial concerns, private landowners, and government entities and has been involved several large groundwater permitting and transfer projects.ĭavid Bardsley has over thirty-three years of environmental drilling experience working in a variety of settings across the United States. He is a Professional Geoscientist with over 25 years’ experience in quantitative groundwater and surface-water hydrology, water resource planning, water supply development, environmental assessments, numerical flow and solute transport modeling, quantitative contamination evaluations, and litigation support. James Beach is a Senior Vice President with LBG-Guyton Associates in Austin, TX. We will also provide details of the well completion process, including drilling and locating assemblies, well materials, reaming processes, well installation and development operations. Our talk will describe the aquifer characterization using geophysics, site selection in a relatively thin aquifer, and groundwater modeling completed prior to construction. It has long been recognized that horizontal wells allow significantly more screen to be placed into the production zone of a thin aquifer than vertical wells Decades of experience are now being applied to develop water supply wells for industrial use. Most of these water supply installations have been in relatively shallow aquifers with direct connections to surface water bodies. ![]() Over the last twenty years only a handful of high capacity water wells have been installed using HDD, compared with hundreds of environmental and geotechnical wells. One industry that has not significantly applied HDD drilling and well installation methodology is the water supply industry. Since then, HDD wells have been installed for a wide variety of environmental and geotechnical applications. Horizontal directional drilling (HDD) methods have been utilized for environmental and engineering applications starting in the late 1980's.
