Well Design Data

Well design data - casing, screens, backfill, and piezometer installation details for monitoring wells.

Well design data records the physical construction of a monitoring well: hole diameter, casing diameters and depths, filter and screen positions, backfill materials, and any special features such as piezometer boxes.

Well design data is entered through the Data Management method, on the Well Design Data tab. The schema depends on the object type - for example, AGS 4 supports a structured well design with HDIA, FLSH, BKFL, PIPE, and FILT groups; EN ISO 22475 uses E2WDCAS, E2WDFILD, E2WDBCKF and related tables.

Filters created in the well design table also generate measurement points of the type Filter, which is how groundwater measurement data attaches to the well - see Working with Measurement Data.

Exporting well design data

Well design data leaves GeoDin as part of the object, not as a separate export. Two routes matter in practice:

• XML export. The XML export method (under Publish and Export at object nodes, queries and groups) writes one XML document per object using a configurable template, so the casing, screen and backfill tables are mapped into the target schema. It can be driven interactively or unattended from an export configuration .INI file - see Object Operations Reference > XML export for the method and the full [PARAMS] parameter reference.
• Template definition. Which well design tables and fields appear in the XML output, and under which element names, is decided in the XML export template - see GeoDinML and XML export templates.
