Direct Torque Helical Displacement Well and Hydrostatic Liquid Pressure Relief Device

A helical displacement well having a preassembled penetrator tube and at least one preassembled extension tube that can be assembled with one another at the well site during the process of driving the penetrator tube and extension tube into the ground, comprising

• said penetrator tube including a hollow rectilinear external casing including a cylindrical wall with internal and external surfaces, a longitudinal axis, and including a ground penetrating end and an upper end for extending upwardly from said ground penetrating end toward the surface of the ground,
• at least one externally extending helical plate mounted about said external casing adjacent said ground penetrating end for engaging the soil surrounding said external casing at an angle with respect to the longitudinal axis of said external casing for progressively moving said well into the ground in response to rotation of said external casing of the penetrator tube about said longitudinal axis,
• said external casing of said penetrator tube defining there through a plurality of openings for the passage of liquid from about said external casing into said external casing,
• an extension tube for mounting to said upper end of said external casing of said penetrator tube for extending upwardly of said penetrator tube, and
• a coupling for positioning at the adjacent ends of said extension tube and said penetrator tube and including fittings for connecting said extension tube to said penetrator tube.

A segmented helical displacement well inserted into the earth, comprising:

• a penetrator tube including a lead end extending into the earth and a following end,
• at least one helical plate mounted to and extending radially away from said penetrator tube and into the earth about said penetrator tube and configured for supporting said well in the earth,
• a plurality of penetrator tube openings formed in said penetrator tube for the passage of liquid there through, and
• a filter positioned in said penetrator tube configured for filtering the liquid moved through said pipe openings and into said penetrator tube.

A helical displacement well inserted into the earth for passing liquid to the surface of the earth, comprising:

• a cylindrical penetrator tube including a lead end extending into the earth and a following end,
• at least one helical plate mounted about and extending radially away from said penetrator tube for extending into the earth about said penetrator tube and configured for supporting said well in the earth and for moving the penetrator tube into the earth in response to rotation of the penetrator tube and,
• at least one extension tube mounted coaxially to the penetrator tube and extending to the surface of the earth,
• a plurality of pipe openings formed in at least one of said penetrator tube and said extension tube for the passage of liquid there through, and
• a filter mounted in at least one of said penetrator tube and said extension tube configured for filtering the liquid moving through said pipe openings.

A helical displacement well comprising at least one penetrator tube,

• said penetrator tube including a rectilinear external casing defining a cylindrical wall with internal and external surfaces, a longitudinal axis, a ground penetrator end for penetrating the ground and an upper end for extending from the ground penetrating end,
• a penetration point mounted to said penetrating end of said penetrator tube shaped for penetrating the earth, and
• at least one externally extending helical plate mounted about said external casing adjacent said ground penetrating end for engaging the soil surrounding said external casing and angled with respect to the longitudinal axis of said external casing for progressively thrusting the well into the ground in response to rotation of the external casing of said penetrator tube,
• said ground penetrating end of said external casing of said penetrator tube defining there through a plurality of openings for the passage of liquid from about said external casing into said external casing, and
• a corrosion inhibitor and friction reduction coating is applied to said external casing at said helical plate such that during the installation of said helical displacement well in the ground and the displacement of said soils being penetrated by said helical displacement well the empirical torque factor applied to the helical displacement well is decreased and the need for utilizing drilling fluids to the bore hole formed by said helical displacement well is avoided.

A helical displacement well for expediently penetrating the ground, comprising:

• a penetrator tube including a hollow rectilinear external casing including a cylindrical wall with internal and external surfaces, a longitudinal axis, and including a ground penetrating end and an upper end for extending from said ground penetrating end toward the surface of the ground,
• a point mounted to the said penetrating end of said penetrator tube shaped for penetrating the ground,
• and at least one externally extending helical plate mounted about said external casing adjacent said ground penetrating end for engaging the soil surrounding said external casing and angled with respect to the longitudinal axis of said external casing for progressively moving said well into the ground in response to rotation of said external casing of the penetrator tube and external casing about said longitudinal axis,
• said ground penetrating end of said external penetrator casing defining there through a plurality of openings for the passage of water from about said external casing into said external casing,
• at least one tubular insert positioned within said external casing of said penetrator tube adjacent said cylindrical wall of said external casing and defining a vertical interior passage for water movement there through, and
• said at least one tubular insert defining a cylindrical wall and plurality of filter openings of a size to pass water there through and to impede the movement of soil from said external casing into said tubular insert,
• whereby when said penetrator tube and external casing are inserted into the earth, they afford structural capacity in application due to the displacement in lieu of removal of soil, and the displaced soils are compacted around the exterior surfaces of the penetrator tube and external casing thusly creating an improvement to the soil matrix surrounding the insertion creating a reinforced section of soil thereof.
