Johnson Screens Water Well Solutions
Johnson Screens has been a leader in the water well industry since the company’s inception in 1904. Our continuous-slot profile wire technology and Vee-Wire well screens revolutionized the water wells industry and quickly became the industry standard around the world. Johnson Screens’ experts led the development of the industry by creating innovative solutions and became a reference with the publication of our Groundwater and Wells book in 1966. After three editions, that book continues to be a staple of water wells education. Today, we are recognized as the complete solutions provider for water wells with an extensive portfolio of well screens, casing, pump pipe and accessories in stainless steel and PVC, and well treatment chemicals and filter packs.
Our Vee-Wire technology was further developed and improved over the years, and it still today ensures high open areas to flow, optimal performance, and resilience to the large Johnson - Steel Screens Stainless Screens portfolio. Available in 304 and 316 stainless steel and a wide range of specialty materials, our stainless-steel well screens are suitable for usual and the most demanding applications.
In addition to our stainless-steel portfolio of products, Johnson Screens also offers a large range of PVC products, including screens, casing, and pump pipes, for the most diverse applications. Our uPVC Casing is nearly inert to corrosion and chemical reactions and has been ideally used in salty, sandy and chemically aggressive water environments without any effect over the years. Common applications of UPVC Casing include water and monitoring wells, Groundwater extraction, Drainage and dewatering, Irrigation, Domestic, Industrial and Mining.
Some examples of demanding applications where the robustness of our products is fundamental are Managed Aquifer Recharge (MAR) and Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) wells. The components of those wells are submitted to hash conditions or taken to their limits, which requires comprehensive solutions to provide reliable wells while balancing expenses. By combining the tradition and knowledge with which we have led the water wells industry for 120 years with innovative equipment specially designed for these applications, Johnson Screens provides complete solutions for MAR and ASR wells. Those solutions are supported by technical and construction experience in some of the most demanding projects in the world and the most reliable water well equipment in the industry.
Some products used in those applications, which are also suitable for mining water and dewatering wells, are the Shur-Pak™ Glass Bead Filter Pack and the Muni-Pak™ Pre-Packed Screens. Easier to install than traditional filter packs, our Shur-Pak™ glass beads for filter packs are stronger, chemically inert, and are almost perfect spheres – virtually eliminating bridging during installation that can be an issue in traditional filter packs. Meanwhile, Muni-Pak™ screens are Johnson Screens’ solution for improving gravel packing. That pre-packed screen eliminates the need for a larger borehole, shortens the time required to drill a well, and accelerates overall development time.
Other Johnson Screens Solutions for the Mining Industry
Johnson Screens solutions are also widely used in different stages of the mining process. Due to their superior separation capabilities and strength, they are also present in several mineral processing applications, including coal, iron ore, gold, copper, phosphate, lead, zinc, lithium, bauxite, sand, and gravel mining.
Besides our world-class proprietary Vee-Wire products, our industrial mining portfolio includes polyurethane screening solutions and separation equipment such as sieve bend screens, DSM pressure boxes and Vee-Wire Intertank Screens, commonly used on gold and silver recovery.
