Changes

The driven well consists of a pointed perforated or slotted pipe or a pipe with a pointed well screen attached which has been driven into an aquifer. The pipe with pointed well screen is driven into place in much the same way a nail is driven into wood. The material is forced aside rather than excavated by this technique. Normally special pipe with thick walls and specially designed couplings are used to resist the driving forces. The pipe is driven into the ground using a hammering tool or a normal hammer.
