Dewatering Well Point Systems

We are skilled in executing dewatering well systems using an efficient and well-priced wellpoint system. Wellpoint systems are used to lower groundwater levels to provide stable working conditions in excavations. Wellpoint systems are particularly suited for shallow foundations, utility and trench work dewatering. A wellpoint system consists of a series of closely spaced small diameter shallow wells. The wellpoints are connected to a common header pipe and are pumped with a high efficiency vacuum dewatering pump. For drawdowns in excess of 15-feet, further stages of wellpoints are required and installed at successively lower levels.
