Well pipe extraction apparatus

摘要

A well pipe extraction apparatus for removing a groundwater monitoring well consisting of PVC pipe from the ground. The well pipe extraction apparatus includes a wire rope, a soft eye formed at an upper end of the wire rope and knurled brass rod attached to the opposite end of the wire rope. The knurled brass rod is lowered to the bottom end of the well casing. An operator pours sand particles down the well casing. The sand particles wedge in-between groves within the brass rod and the interior surface of the well casing locking brass rod to the well casing which allows the operator to extract the PVC pipe from the ground.
