WAREHAM, MA, ISSUED AUGUST 1, 2000…DRAGIN Drilling, a full-service company that provides environmental, geotechnical, construction, landfill and water supply drilling services, has just opened a new Residential Well Division.

The Residential Well Division well evaluate site specific factors (such as geologic formations, required water yield, and well location) to determine the appropriate drilling method. Drilling methods include: 4-inch to 24-inch hollow-stem auger; 4-inch to 12-inch mud rotary; and 4-inch to 8-inch air rotary. Well diameters range from 4-inch to 8-inch and can be up to or greater than six feet in depth.

DRAGIN Drilling can provide between 5 and 500 gallons per minute using a 4-inch to 8-inch diameter submersible pump. Also, pumps can be installed in new or existing wells.

"We're very excited about our new Residential Well Division," said Carrie Collins, President of DRAGIN Drilling. "Contractors who provide subdivisions know how popular residential wells are in the current housing boom of southeastern Massachusetts, and how eager people are to be able to sprinkle their lawns with their own private well water. Now we can provide them with the tools and expertise they need to install a private residential well."

DRAGIN Drilling is a SOMWBA-Certified, Woman-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE) and Disadvantage Business Enterprise (DEB) drilling company. The company's name was originally created as an acronym to describe its scope of services, "Deep Remedial and Groundwater Investigation Needs." A custom-designed fleet of vehicles, several of which are one-of-a-kind, accommodate virtually every drilling need. Unique capabilities include auger drilling to depths of up to 350 feet; screened auger sampling; collection of both discrete water and soil samples from a single borehole; 24-inch landfill auger drilling; all-terrain drilling; angle drilling, and more. DRAGIN Drilling is one of the only drilling firms in the United States with 24-inch auger capability.

Their services have been used by the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority, the Massachusetts Highway Department, the Massachusetts Military Reservation, the South Weymouth Naval Air Station, the Boston Redevelopment Authority, the City of Boston's Central Artery, and others.
