This is the accordion type system that goes against the flange after seating the flange on the pvc. It is held against the flange with air pressure.

The well drilling truck - the tan one - cost around $500,000.00 not counting all the bits. This is the main control panel.

The area around the PVC Casing pipe is prepared by daming it so the over flow of Grouting doesn't run off.

The Grouting will expand as it dries and secure the PVC Casing in the ground for the 75 feet where the PVC Casing meets the rock. This also seals the well from any contamination from the ground water. This is a picture of the top where it came out above ground level before it was smoothed and covered with dirt.
