F+~~:~~aA:~l <br />~~~,,.~. <br /> <br />• avoid damage to the PVC casing caused by the <br />weight or pressure of the cement slurry column, <br />• provide approximately 50 feet of reliable <br />cement seal above the cement basket and <br />the test interval, and <br />assure displacement of the borehole fluids <br />by the cement slurry. <br />Cement slurries were generally mixed at a ratio of <br />about seven gallons of water to each 94 pound bag of cement <br />(7:1). Well GF-2 cement was mixed at about 13:1, because of <br />the lower bursting strength (180 pound/inZ) of the plastic tremie <br />pipe used on that well. General Portland Type 2 cement was used. <br />In most cases, 20 sacks of cement were slowly added to 132 gal- <br />. lons of water in a 220 gallon water tank. The slurry was cir- <br />culated and mixed using the drilling rig's mud pump. <br />The resulting 200 to 220 gallons of 7:1 cement slurry <br />were then pumped do~,m the tremie pipe into the borehole. After <br />pumping the cement slurry, the tremie pipe was removed from the <br />borehole and the cement slurry was allowed to set for 24 hours. <br />3.2.5 We11 Bailine and [lellhead Construction <br />Piezometer wells which were drilled using drilling <br />mud were bailed after allowing time for the cement to set up. <br />Bailing was done by a small well service rig. Bailing was car- <br />ried out until clear water was produced from the well. <br />A cement slurry was poured between the 10-inch steel <br />surface casing and the 4-inch PVC well casing. The cemented <br />• intervals were typically from land surface to a depth of five feet. <br />3-8 <br />
