Casing is a tubular structure designed to be watertight, used to line and support the walls of wells, boreholes, or underground pipelines. It is essential for preventing groundwater contamination, maintaining the structural integrity of the well or borehole, and protecting the system from external pressures. In plumbing and water systems, casings are often made of materials like PVC, steel, or concrete, depending on the application’s requirements. Casing installation involves placing the casing into the well or borehole and sealing it to prevent leaks. Proper casing design and installation are crucial for ensuring the long-term performance and safety of water wells, submersible pumps, and other underground water infrastructure.
