Bedrock is the main issue with PVC, most of my well drilling customers have switched to PVC when possible for the lower intial cost and longer life expectancy. PVC in bedrock would not be allowed as far as I know, but I am not a driller. I attend seminars and trade shows and work with these guys a lot. Most of the Wells on the West coast for residential applications use PVC whenever possible.
A million dollar rig sounds about right. The NGWA show has a dozen of those inside the Las Vegas Convention center every year. I am usually manning a little booth stuck in a corner with a few products. The well drillers are amazing, it makes ou national trade show look wimpy.
Gary, has your opinion changed on PVC vs steel casing inthe past few years? I know most guys who have been doing this a while get used to a certain way and dont like change, but PVC well casing just makes sense when it is possible. What do you think?
