Ground Water Extraction

Directional Technologies designs and installs horizontal groundwater recovery and hydraulic control systems that provide long-term containment and treatment of contaminated groundwater. Our approach combines precision directional drilling with advanced environmental engineering to achieve maximum hydraulic control while minimizing surface disruption.

Horizontal wells are ideal for Superfund sites, landfills, and complex remediation projects where vertical systems have failed or are not feasible due to geology, accessibility, or cost.

Traditional vertical groundwater recovery networks can lose efficiency over time due to mineral buildup, fine-grained formations, or changing subsurface conditions. These issues often lead to:

• Reduced hydraulic capture zones
• Inconsistent groundwater recovery
• Blockages and maintenance challenges
• Increased operational costs
• Incomplete protection of off-site receptors

At several sites regulated under state and federal programs, Directional Technologies has provided engineered horizontal solutions to restore performance and achieve full regulatory compliance.
