Case Study: A Complete Well Package for a West Florida Groundwater Project

Company Description

A West Florida well design and drilling contractor building a new groundwater well.

Challenges

A water well is more than a casing order. This project needed large-diameter steel casing, restrained-joint PVC casing, casing spacers, a wellhead assembly with flanges, valves and pipe supports, and threaded connectors that aren't stocked as standard parts.

The well driller normally buys all of this, often from several sources. Wellhead assemblies in particular are usually ordered from a specialty manufacturer, apart from the rest of the material. Every extra vendor adds lead times to track, deliveries to coordinate and more chances for something to arrive wrong or late.

The contractor also needed 18 custom threaded couplings built to the project's specifications.

Lehman Pipe Solution

Lehman's groundwater team supplied the complete package from one source. The order included domestic large-diameter steel casing, Certa-Lok® restrained-joint PVC well casing and casing spacers to keep the casing centered in the borehole.

Lehman also built a custom wellhead assembly for the project through our fabrication services, with custom flanges, valves and pipe supports matched to the well's design. The 18 custom threaded couplings were produced to the contractor's specifications and shipped with the rest of the order.

With the casing, wellhead and connectors coming from one supplier, the contractor dealt with one order, one point of contact and one delivery schedule, supported by Lehman branches across Florida.

Result

The contractor sourced everything from casing to wellhead through a single supplier, including components it would normally have ordered separately. The full package was delivered on time, keeping the drilling crew on schedule.
