A borehole decking plug which is created by a self-expanding plastic foam. Two closed waterproof pouches, an inner pouch and an outer pouch, each contain a separate component of the foam. The inner pouch is contained within the outer pouch, and both are contained within a third open external pouch having a tether attachment. Upon breaking the inner pouch, the separate foam components combine within the outer pouch to form a complete expansion foam. The foam expands slowly enough to provide sufficient time for the device to be lowered via the tether down a borehole to a preselected position. Once in position, the expansion foam bursts the outer pouch and escapes upward through the external pouch to form a deck plug at the preselected position. |
