Driven well definition

Driven well means a well which is constructed by driving a permanent casing with a screen area into unconsolidated material. Driven wells do not penetrate consolidated rock;
Driven well means a well that is constructed by driving a pipe, at the end of which there is a drive point and screen, without the use of any drilling, boring or jetting device.
Driven well means a well that is constructed by means of pushing or hammering a casing and screen, including direct push methods, and that does not create an annular space.

Examples of Driven well in a sentence

  • Driven well casing may, when conditions warrant, be installed without grouting.

  • Driven well gasing may, when gonditions warrant, be installed without grouting.

  • Driven well: An upper hole at least four inches greater in diameter than the permanent casing shall extend a minimum of six feet below land surface.
