Seneca Resources Company Water Supply

Various Locations, Pennsylvania

ARM was challenged with providing the water needed for well completion activities –approximately 4.5 million gallons per well–to Seneca’s operations with less than ideal road conditions. Seneca projected approximately 70,000 truck trips on roads built for lighter traffic. The solution developed by ARM was to pipe the water from a water withdrawal pumping facility at the base of the mountain on Lycoming Creek.
