Ground Source Geothermal System Services:

Hydro-geothermal evaluation of site specific conditions
Local geology, aquifer characteristics, and existing wells in the immediate area are reviewed to determine the optimal location for drilling a test well.

Thermal conductivity testing
Thermal conductivity testing is typically performed to determine the average bedrock formation thermal conductivity and the average thermal diffusivity of the undisturbed soil.

Well field siting and planning
A test well is drilled in the proposed project area for the selected geothermal system. The purpose of the test well is to determine the site-specific subsurface geology and thermal conductivity characteristics for the design of the geothermal well field. The geothermal well field is situated at a location that will allow sufficient thermal characteristics, suitable location and well depth, while minimizing drilling and completion costs.

Permitting
ARM will evaluate local zoning ordinances, building codes, and other regulatory permitting requirements and complete the steps necessary to successfully permit the project.

Construction oversight
Experienced ARM personnel will provide oversight of the test well installation and use the information gathered to determine the optimal design of the well field, well location, and well depths.
