Because of the tremendous depth being drilled, special equipment was required to aid in the removal of the freshly ground particulate. The blue piece of equipment seen above is an air compressor, its job is to blow 1000 psi of air down the drilled shaft forcing the ground water and crushed rock to the surface.
The water and dirt are then forced out through a hose attached to the drill, into a dumpster.
The dumpster acts as a filter by collecting the particulate and releasing just the water to the cities sewer system.
