Vertical / Drilling
|
Due to the compact size of our specialized rig, vertical bore holes provide the least disruptive form of geothermal loop installation. An average residential install can occur in a utility free area of 10' x 20'.
|
|
A hydraulic driven customized air rotary rig is used to drill vertical holes to an average depth of 150' through solid formations. Each hole services about 1 ton of heating/cooling capacity.
|
|
Loops begin with 2 coils of 3/4" PE pipe that are heat fused.
|
|
A u-bend connection is created using heat fusion to ensure no leaks.
|
|
After u-bend assembly is completed, piping is unrolled, cut to length, and pressure checked to ensure pipe integrity and fusion.
|
The pressure checked u-bend assembly is pushed down a bore hole.

A grouting slurry of bentonite clay and water is mixed.
|
Grout is pumped from the bottom to the top of the bore holes to ensure continuous contact with the ground and to seal the holes.
