Indiana AWWA Conference
Key Responsibilities of the Designer During
Well Construction
Summarize general designer responsibilities during project construction Construction
Administration Resident Project
Representative Outline critical observation
and analysis tasks during production well construction
Review post-construction tasks Regulatory submittals Operation & Maintenance Warranty inspections
Construction projects benefit from a collaborative process Designer Verify design concept is implemented Provide interpretation of design concept
Owner Provides technical expertise Minimize changes, delays and disputes
Contractor Collaborate on alternatives Understand objectives
Construction Administration (CA) Consult with Owner Generally administer the construction contract
Resident Project Representative (RPR) Full or part-time on-site throughout construction Reviews and monitors schedule Conducts regular project status meetings Verify materials and quantities Maintains records Regular inspection of the Work
General Contract Administration Pre-Construction Conference Schedules Site Visits Clarifications, Field Orders Change Orders Shop Drawing Review Applications for Payment Substantial Completion/Final Acceptance
General Consult with Owner Serve as Owner’s representative Independent testing
Pre-Con meeting Participate in Pre-Construction conference
Schedules Review and determine acceptability Progress schedule Schedule of Submittals Schedule of Values
Baselines and Benchmarks Establish for accurate location of work
Site Visits Intervals appropriate for stages of construction Observe progress and quality Not exhaustive or detailed inspections Keep owner informed of progress Verify contractor has implemented and maintained
the integrity of design concept
Supervise, direct or control contractor’s work
Provide authority or responsibility for means, methods, techniques, sequences or procedures
Responsibility for site security or safety
Compliance with laws or regulations, including permit conditions
Defective Work Recommendations to Owner to reject Contractor’s
Work while in progress Clarifications, interpretations, and Field Orders
Respond to inquiries by contractor (RFIs) Authorize minor variations
Change Orders & Work Change Directives Review and recommend COs and WCDs to Owner Prepare COs/WCDs for Owner approval
Shop Drawings and Samples Review and evaluate shop
drawings/samples Conformance with Contract
Documents and compatibility with design concept
Review must comply with Contractor’s submittal schedule
Does not include partial submissions
Substitutes and “or equals” Evaluate and determine
acceptability
Inspections/Tests Require special inspections or tests as necessary Review certificates of inspections, tests and
approvals Purpose is to determine results indicate compliance
with Contract Documents Disagreements between Owner and Contractor
Render written decisions Acceptability of Work and interpretation of Contract
Documents Shall be fair and impartial
Applications for Payment Determine amounts recommended to be paid Recommendations work has progressed Quality of work Determine final quantities and classifications
Completion Documents Receive, review and transmit to Owner O&M Manuals, schedules, guarantees, bonds, etc. Annotated record drawings (from Contractor)
Substantial Completion Conduct inspection of work Prepare (or review) Punch
List Prepare Certificate of
Substantial Completion Final Notice of Acceptability
Conduct final inspection of work
Prepare recommendation of final payment
Prepare “Notice of Acceptability of Work”
Other tasks
Pre-Construction Coordination
Site Visits Drilling Development Testing
Submittals Evaluation
Schedules Test drilling
Pilot holes needed? Sieve analysis Drilling method Final screen design
Utility Location Indiana811 Private locates
Project phasing
Test Drilling Drilling
Frequency depends on method
Verify formation Sampling
Development Testing
Step-drawdown Constant rate
Observe drilling work Verify formations encountered
Verify materials conform to specifications and submittals Casing Screen Gravel pack (if included)
Observe Pre-Development work Thinning mud (if applicable) Air-surging
Grouting
Critical stage of construction Methods (from: Driscoll, 1986)
Over-pumping (“Raw-Hiding”) Back washing (gravity/tank surge) Mechanical surging Air surging and pumping High velocity jetting (air or water)
Use of Development Aids (Chemicals) Polymer dispersants (Non-Phosphate) Surfactants (Non-Phosphate) Chlorine Others
Verify method(s) and effort
Sand content “Jar Test” surge
discharge Sand sampler, Imhoff
cone Provide assistance as
needed
Select monitoring points and frequency
Determine rate for constant rate test Based on step-test
results Review discharge
conditions Collect samples
Sand Water Quality
Review data
Well Proposed well design Screen slot size Placement in well Grout
Gravel Pack Supplier Sieve analysis
Plot updated for well record (log)
IDNR Log
Pump and Motor Preliminary pump set
sheet Specifics of pump,
motor, column or drop piping
Pump head Pump curve
Pumping test data Typed tabular
summary of tests Static water level Pumping levels Orifice measurements Discharge rate
Step and constant rate Bacteria testing
Plumbness and Alignment Evaluate whether in compliance with specifications AWWA Standards
Pumping Test Adjustments to pump assembly Flow rate, TDH, motor horsepower, and pump
setting depth Evaluate efficiency
Compile regulatory records Well records (IDNR form) Water quality analysis GWUDI analysis
Prepare as-built plans/records Post-completion inspections
Initial operation Prior to warranty expiration
Develop or update Wellhead Protection Plan Delineation Overall plan
Maintenance schedule Expansion potential
Emphasizes collaboration Designer, Owner and
Contractor Design contract
include construction phase services
Benefits to all parties Incorporate post-
construction tasks
