New Drilling Techniques

EPI, Inc has and is always looking to expand its drilling techniques; as you may know we have been offering 6” & 4” air rotary. We also offer mud rotary drilling as large as 10” diameter to set 6” pipe for double cased wells or 6” recovery wells.

 

We have been using the 4” air hammer to allow our clients to get to groundwater for sampling in bedrock formations. We use 4-1/4” augers in conjunction with the 4” hammer to drill beyond the overburden and into the bedrock to collect H2O samples. Once the sampling has been completed the holes are tremi grouted to surface.  

In addition to all of this, we can now perform conventional rock coring (5 ft runs) with HQ size tools (3-3/8” hole size 2-1/2” core size). This is used to confirm bedrock at locations and also as a way to advance boreholes into bedrock without using air rotary to disturb contaminates (DNAPL) lying within the bedrock.

One Call Updates

 

Effective: July 1, 2017

The maximum distance allowed on a ticket is a single tax block for all tickets with or without an address in urban or suburban areas. If a ticket will extend onto multiple blocks, multiple tickets are required. The only exception is if you are working within 500 feet of an intersection and will be going in multiple directions from the intersection.

 

The maximum distance allowed on a ticket in a rural area is 1500 feet. If a ticket will extend beyond 1500 feet, multiple tickets will be required.

If there's an excavation that needs to occur immediately and there's already an active NJ One Call ticket, an additional contractor can be added to the ticket provided that the original ticket holder assumes all responsibility. 

 

This can be helpful in certain situations where a client needs another contractor on-site sooner than the 3 day processing period.  The active ticket holder would notify NJ One Call that they authorize the other contractor to be added to their ticket, then the other contractor would in turn contact New Jersey One Call, reference the existing ticket number and add their company information to the ticket.
