Surge-blocks, swabs, or plungers are disc shaped devices made to fit tightly within the well. Their edges are usually fitted with rubber or leather rings to make a tight seal against the well casing. Pipe sections are then attached to the surge-block to lower it into the well, above the well screen, and about 15 feet below the water level. The assembly is then repeatedly lifted up and down. The up and down action of the surge-block creates suction and compression strokes that force water in and out of the well through the screened interval, gravel pack, and aquifer. It works like a plunger in the way that it removes small obstructions and sediments from the well. The surge-block is slowly lowered each time resistance begins to decrease. 2, record 1, English, - surge%20block

Un puits d'observation comporte plusieurs composantes. [...] Une crépine rattachée à un tubage est placée sous le niveau d'eau. Une enveloppe de sable de silice est placée autour de la crépine jusqu'à un niveau légèrement plus élevé (1 mètre) pour favoriser l'écoulement de l'eau vers cette zone. Un bouchon scellant, de plus d'un mètre d'épaisseur, constitué de bentonite (granulaire ou en poudre) est ensuite mis en place au-dessus des matériaux filtrants pour isoler la zone crépinée de l'eau provenant des couches sus-jacentes et des eaux de surface. L'espace restant entre le tubage et la paroi du forage doit être rempli d'un mélange de ciment/bentonite ou d'une boue de bentonite. 1, record 2, French, - mat%C3%A9riau%20filtrant

Tubage protecteur et couvercle.- En principe, le couvercle et le tubage protecteur n'entrent pas en contact avec l'eau à échantillonner. Ils n'influencent donc pas la composition chimique de l'eau. Il n'y a pas de spécifications particulières quant au type de matériaux à utiliser. La seule restriction dans le choix d'un couvercle est imposée lorsque la tête du puits est installée au niveau du sol. Le couvercle doit être suffisamment étanche et rigide pour prévenir l'infiltration d'eau de surface. La tête du puits d'observation devrait être équipée d'un tubage protecteur cadenassé contre le vandalisme. 1, record 4, French, - tubage%20protecteur%20et%20couvercle

Un couvercle protecteur muni d'un cadenas est ancré dans cette surface cimentée pour protéger le puits d'observation contre tout bris ou vandalisme. Comme la tubulure, le tubage protecteur doit être ventilé afin de prévenir l'accumulation potentielle de gaz explosifs et pour permettre au niveau d'eau dans le puits de suivre les variations de pressions atmosphérique et hydraulique. 1, record 4, French, - tubage%20protecteur%20et%20couvercle

A pneumatic stowing machine which consists of a paddle wheel with six compartments working inside an adjustable airtight casing. This wheel is driven at a speed of 15 to 30 revolutions per minute by means of an air turbine through gearing... The dirt falls from the paddle wheel into the airstream in the pipe underneath the paddle box and passes along 6-inch-diameter pipes to the outlet, where a detachable deflector guides the stream of dirt into the required place in the pack hole. 1, record 6, English, - Beien%20machine
