CONSTRUCTION DEWATERING:
Temporary lowering of groundwater levels by pumping from wells or sumps to provide stable conditions for excavations below the natural groundwater level
METHODS OF DEWATERING SYSTEMS
Open Ditches and SumpsWell point Systems
Single-stage well point systemMulti-stage well point system
Deep Well DrainageVacuum DewateringElectro-Osmosis
Example applications: Dewatering water from a ground when excavations below ground water level are needed Dewatering construction excavations Lowering of ground water level
Other applications of wellpoint system: Dewatering in agriculture To gain water for house, garden and irrigations
Main applications of wellpoint systems
Jetting wellpoints into the groundThe typical sequence of operations when
installing wellpoints is as follows:
•connect jetting pipe to water jetting pump or hydrant, using jetting hose •if you are setting the wellpoint manually, position the jetting pipe vertically with its edge on a support (e.g. piece of thick board), next to the predetermined wellpoint setting location •when you set the wellpoint with jetting pipe using a crane, keep the pipe on the crane rope 150-200 mm above the wellpoint setting location •activate water jetting pump or open the hydrant •when water flows out of the jetting pipe, remove it from the support and lower it to the ground
