Abstract
Disclosed is a method for installing a groundwater monitoring well inside a permeable reactive barrier (PRB) trench including excavating a PRB trench, installing a trench side-wall support, positioning a monitoring well borehole, installing an outer installation casing for pre-burying the monitoring well, installing a monitoring well positioning bracket, installing a monitoring well casing, installing monitoring well filter packs and seal materials, filling the trench with PRB media and capping with a covering soil layer, removing the outer installation casing, removing the trench side-wall support, completing the monitoring well with a wellhead, and conducting well development. This method avoids the complex procedure of re-drilling a borehole within the PRB media following the completion of PRB construction and media filling, assures that monitoring well installation protocols are followed and high quality and stable operation is achieved, and serves for groundwater monitoring to support the implementation and efficacy evaluation of the PRB technology.
