The Equipment

To be successful in any business requires capable people, resources, the right tools and equipment for the job, and back-up resources. To install loops for GeoExchange projects, to some extent, you must understand geology, piping design, excavation, heat fusion, pumping, rigging, thermodynamics and general construction procedures. To go along with that understanding, you need the skilled technicians, the right tools, materials and equipment to do the job. If anything is lacking for a particular project, be it expertise, tools or equipment, you must know exactly how and where to get it.
