Supplies Calculator
Below is a calculator for determining your project requirements for sand and seal. The first table can be used to determine approximately how much holeplug you will need to backfill your boreholes. You need to enter the total linear feet of borehole drilling (i.e., holes without wells) and input the auger size. For example, if you planning to drill five 15-foot holes, you would input 75. If you have your numbers in metric, you can convert to feet with the conversion calculator.
Below this, are two calculators for determining your approximate sand and seal requirements for monitoring well installations. There are separate calculators for each one (because the density of sand is different than holeplug). Use the first one to input your total linear feet of screen to be installed, along with the auger and pipe size; use the second one to anticipate how much riser you need. It should be noted that these calculations are very approximate; you should allow for significant contingency.

Monitoring Well Construction – Sand and Holeplug Requirements
| Sand Requirements (approximate) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Enter borehole size here, in inches Solid stem augers* = 4 inch | Hollow stem augers* = 8 inch |
Enter well pipe size, in inches (2 inches is most common, but 1 inch also used for certain applications) | Enter total linear feet of screen to be used for the project |
| Total bags of sand required for the project | ||
| Hole plug Requirements (approximate) | ||
|---|---|---|
| Enter borehole size here, in inches Solid stem augers* = 4 inch | Hollow stem augers* = 8 inch |
Enter well pipe size, in inches (2 inches is most common, but 1 inch also used for certain applications) | Enter total linear feet of riser to be used for the project |
