What the district would install: about 100 vertical geothermal wells, manifold, and Trane controls
Summary
Presenters described a ground‑source heat pump system of roughly 100 vertical wells spaced ~25 feet on center, below‑grade wellheads, a manifold that consolidates lines, and factory‑mounted Trane controls with a five‑year parts and labor warranty.
Project engineers and the Trane representative described how the ground‑source system would be laid out and connected to building systems. They said about 100 vertical wells will be drilled, each well a small‑diameter bore, with below‑grade wellheads and rows spaced roughly 25 feet on center. “They're vertical wells, so they go down 502,” one presenter said while discussing the bore geometry.
Presenters explained all well lines will combine into a manifold box that reduces dozens of bore lines into fewer service connections before entering the central plant, and that the Trane equipment includes factory‑mounted controls intended to simplify service and guarantee performance. The vendor said piping and components are rated for 50+ years and that there will be a five‑year parts-and‑labor warranty on Trane‑branded products.
