[CPEO-MEF] Horizontal Wells course

[Lenny Siegel <lsiegel@cpeo.org>]

(from Lou Fournier <starcompany@erols.com>)


I am sending you this message for possible posting on the CPEO
list-server.  It should be of interest to anyone considering
alternatives for subsurface remediation.

Horizontal wells are a major new tool for subsurface remediation.  They
offer the opportunity to reduce the costs of soil and groundwater
remediation by as much as 80% as compared with vertical wells and
trenches.  They are ideal for use at large sites such as military sites
and have the added advantage that they can be installed under paved
areas such as run-ways, large buildings, and into other-wise
difficult-to-access areas where there may be dangers from unexploded
ordinances and/or radiation.

The Continuing Education Program of the University of Wisconsin
Department of Engineering Professional Development Department is
presenting a two-day "Horizontal Well Remediation Course" on October
1-2, 2001 in Madison, Wisconsin.  To register on-line or obtain course
information, go to:

The course will cover well drilling and development, case histories,
engineering design requirements, remediation applications, and cost
comparison with alternative remediation methods.  Attendees will receive
1.4 Continuing Education Units (CEUs).
