Patent number: 11976454Abstract: A trenchless collector system is configured to intercept and direct surface and/or subsurface fluids to a designated reception location to control groundwater elevations. A target collection and drainage area is identified and a gravity drainage pipe is accessed or trenchlessly installed at the target collection and drainage area. The gravity drainage pipe can be accessed at one or more drawdown points. One end of a collection pipe can be connected to the gravity drainage pipe. Surface and subsurface water is hydrostatically drawn into the collection pipe from the target collection and drainage area through venting at the one end of the collection pipe connected to the gravity drainage pipe. The surface and subsurface water can be passively drained from the collection pipe into the gravity drainage pipe and onto the designated reception location.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: TRENCHLESS GROUNDWATER MOVERS, LLCInventors: John Jurgens, Larry Kiest, Bruce Tobey

Publication number: 20210310230Abstract: A collector system installed utilizing trenchless or minimally invasive methods and devices configured to intercept and direct surface and/or subsurface fluids to a designated reception location to control groundwater elevations is disclosed. In one aspect, a target collection and drainage area is identified and a gravity drainage pipe is accessed or trenchlessly installed at the target collection and drainage area. The gravity drainage pipe can be accessed at one or more drawdown points. An end of the collection pipe can be connected to the drain pipe. By venting an end of the collection pipe to the surface, surface and subsurface water is hydrostatically drawn into the collection pipe from the target collection and drainage area. The surface and subsurface water can be passively drained from the collection pipe into the distribution pipe and onto the designated reception location providing a green process that eliminates power dependency.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 16, 2021Publication date: October 7, 2021Applicant: TRENCHLESS GROUNDWATER MOVERS, LLCInventors: John Jurgens, Larry Kiest, Bruce Tobey
