What is Wellpoint Dewatering?

People often ask us “What is wellpoint dewatering?” and how can it help us on our site? Wellpoint dewatering can be used to lower and control groundwater levels in excavations, in order to create a dry and stable working environment. Some of the suitable applications are pipeline construction, shallow foundations and trench works.

A typical wellpoint dewatering system will consist of a number of calculated wellpoints which are installed at an effective depth and appropriate spacing around or parallel with the excavation. These wellpoints are installed into the ground using a high pressure jetting technique, by hand or machine tooling. The wellpoints are connected to the surface, via a riser pipe, and in turn, connected to a common header main pipe through a flexbow.

The flexbows incorporate an adjustable valve which allows the control of air and water entering the system, known as trimming, to ensure a constant vacuum in the system and effective draw of water. The main header pipe is connected to a wellpoint dewatering pump and then discharged either to a designated point or through a water treatment system depending on water quality.
