Designation:D5876/D5876M17Standard Guide forUse of Direct Rotary Wireline Casing Advancement DrillingMethods for Geoenvironmental Exploration and Installationof Subsurface Water-Quality Monitoring Devices1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5876/D5876M;the number immediately following the designation indicates theyear of original adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of lastreapproval.A superscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This guide covers how direct(straight)wireline rotarycasing advancement drilling and sampling procedures may beused for geoenvironmental exploration and installation ofsubsurface water-quality monitoring devices.NOTE1The term“direct”with respect to the rotary drilling method ofthis guide indicates that a water-based drilling fluid or air is injectedthrough a drill-rod column to rotating bit(s)or coring bit.The fluid or aircools the bit(s)and transports cuttings to the surface in the annulusbetween the drill rod column and the borehole wall.NOTE2This guide does not include the procedures for fluid rotarysystems which are addressed in a separate guide,Guide D5783.1.2 The term“casing advancement”is sometimes used todescribe rotary wireline drilling because the center pilot bit orcore barrel assemblies may be removed and the large insidediameter drill rods can act as a temporary casing for testing orinstallation of monitoring devices.This guide addressescasing-advancement equipment in which the drill rod(casing)is advanced by rotary force applied to the bit with applicationof static downforce to aid in the cutting process.1.3 This guide includes several forms of rotary wirelinedrilling configurations.General borehole advancement may beperformed without sampling by using a pilot roller cone or dragbit until the desired depth is reached.Alternately,the materialmay be continuously or incrementally sampled by replacing thepilot bit with a core-barrel assembly designed for coring eitherrock or soil.Rock coring should be performed in accordancewith Practice D2113.1.4 UnitsThe values stated in either SI units or Inch-Pound units given in brackets are to be regarded separately asstandard.The values stated in each system may not be exactlyequivalents;therefore,each system shall be used independentlyof the other.Combining values from the two system may resultin non-conformance with the standard.1.5 All observed and calculated values are to conform to theguidelines for significant digits and rounding established inD6026.The procedures used to specify how data are collected/recorded or calculated in this standard are regarded as theindustry standard.In addition,they are representative of thesignificant digits that generally should be retained.The proce-dures used do not consider material variation,purpose forobtaining the data,special purpose studies,or any consider-ations for the users objective;and it is common practice toincrease or reduce the significant digits of reported data to becommensurate with these considerations.It is beyond the scopeof this standard to consider significant digits used in analysismethod or engineering design.1.6 Direct rotary wireline drilling methods for geoenviron-mental exploration will often involve safety planning,administration,and documentation.This guide does not pur-port to specifically address exploration and site safety.1.7 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.1.8 This guide offers an organized collection of informationor a series of options and does not recommend a specificcourse of action.This document cannot replace education orexperience and should be used in conjunction with professionaljudgment.Not all aspects of this guide may be applicable in allcircumstances.This ASTM standard is not intended to repre-sent or replace the standard of care by which the adequacy ofa given professional service must be judged,nor should thisdocument be applied without consideration of a projects manyunique aspects.The word“Standard”in the title of thisdocument means only that the document has been approvedthrough the ASTM consensus process.1.9 This international standard was developed in accor-dance with internationally recognized principles on standard-ization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International Standards,Guides and Recom-mendations issued by the World Trade Organization TechnicalBarriers to Trade(TBT)Committee.1This guide is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee D18 on Soil andRockand is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee D18.21 on Groundwater andVadose Zone Investigations.Current edition approved Dec.15,2017.Published February
