Fall Field Day
FALL FIELD DAY
Friday, October 23 (Bonus VOC Day - Thursday, October 22)
COASTAL PLAIN DRILLING • MUD ROTARY • WELL LOGGING • PUMP SYSTEM
Join VWWA for a hands-on field day focused on Coastal Plain drilling using mud rotary techniques.
This will be an opportunity to get out of the classroom and see the drilling process in the field while connecting the geology, well construction, water quality and pumping system together.
What we'll see:
- Coastal Plain Mud Rotary Drilling
Take a close look at drilling techniques and considerations specific to Coastal Plain formations. - Well Logging Demonstration
Follow the drilling process and see how information gathered during construction can help tell the story of the subsurface formation and completed well. - Existing Well & Pump System Evaluation
Take a look at the existing well and pump system and discuss how well construction, water production and pumping equipment work together.
This field day is designed for well contractors, pump professionals, suppliers, engineers, environmental health professionals and anyone interested in the practical side of groundwater development.
⚾ ADD-ON VOCATIONAL EDUCATION DAY
Thursday, October 22, 2026
We're adding something a little different this year!
VWWA will offer a vocational education day on Thursday, October 22, giving participants an opportunity to explore groundwater and water-well careers, equipment and hands-on skills.
And when the classroom and field work are finished...
⚾ WE'RE PLAYING BALL!
We'll wrap up Thursday with a light-hearted, competitive softball game featuring attendees, contractors and industry friends.
No professional athletic ability required.
A little competition? Absolutely.
A lot of fun? You can count on it.
