A log is the recording of one physical property of the formation crossed through by a borehole or of the geometric characteristics of the hole or casing or the flow behavior of a well as a function of depth. Wireline logging is performed with a sonde or probe lowered into the borehole or well, usually after the drillstring has been withdrawn. 4, record 1, English, - wireline%20log
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
Measurements include electrical properties ... sonic properties, active and passive nuclear measurements, dimensional measurements of the wellbore, formation fluid sampling, formation pressure measurement, wireline-conveyed sidewall coring tools, and others. In wireline measurements, the logging tool (or sonde) is lowered into the open wellbore on a multiple conductor, contra-helically armored wireline. Once lowered to the bottom of the interval of interest, the measurements are taken on the way out of the wellbore. This is done in an attempt to maintain tension on the cable (which stretches) as constant as possible for depth correlation purposes ... Most wireline measurements are recorded continuously even though the sonde is moving. 3, record 1, English, - wireline%20log

... fabric-enclosed sand drains. [The method] consists of a polyethylene monofilament tube of varying diameter running the length of the compressible stratum. This net-type tube with 1. 2 by 1. 6 mm openings is inserted into a crane-mounted casing that drives the assembly into position for sand filling. The casing is withdrawn by a crane while the fabric-filled sand column is left behind with the aid of applied air pressure... As with other applications of fabrics in drainage, the proper fabric can be considered to be part of the drainage system, not merely used as a separating medium. 1, record 2, English, - fabric%2Denclosed%20sand%20drain

"Dry boring" methods employ the use of a temporary casing to seal the pile bore through water-bearing or unstable strata overlying suitable stable material. Upon reaching the design depth a reinforcing cage is introduced, concrete is placed in the bore and bought up to the required level. The casing is then withdrawn. "Wet" boring also employs a temporary casing through unstable ground and is used when the pile bore cannot be sealed against water ingress. Boring is then undertaken using a digging bucket to drill through the underlying soils to design depth. The reinforcing cage is lowered into the bore and concrete is placed by tremmie pipe, following which extraction of the temporary casing takes place. 1, record 3, English, - temporary%20casing

Caissons... are load-bearing enclosures sunk into the ground, usually to protect excavation for a foundation, aid construction of the substructure, and serve as part of the permanent structure.... In foundations, caissons are used to facilitate construction of shafts or piers extending from near the surface of land or water to a bearing stratum. This type of construction can carry heavy loads to great depths.... They range in size from abut that of a pile to over 100 ft in length and width. Some small ones are considered caisson piles.... For some of the smaller caissons used for foundation shafts, the casing generally is not assigned any load-carrying capacity, or it may be withdrawn as concrete fills the hole. 3, record 4, English, - caisson%20pile
