Dewatering and Groundwater control

No other provider in the UAE and Gulf States has as much expertise as Khansaheb Sykes in dewatering and groundwater lowering, with equipment and services for both hire and sale.

You may have the best-run site but, without efficient groundwater control, you can soon get bogged down in costly and uncomfortable problems, with serious implications for health and safety. That’s where we come in.

With so many excavations reaching below the water table, our powerful pumps and proven services help you to control and remove subsurface water quickly and effectively.

Our capabilities have been tried-and-tested many times in the harsh climatic and aggressive saline water conditions found in this region.

Simply Contact us to discuss any requirements you may have.

Wellpointing

One of the most economical, flexible and stable methods available. We provide a complete service: from site investigation and calculations, using our knowledge of previous subsoil conditions, to recommending and installing appropriate equipment. Typically, we install a number of wellpoints, with tubes 40mm to 60mm in diameter, protected by a filter screen, so collecting underground water efficiently.

All our wellpointing pumps are fitted as standard with high capacity vacuum pumps, enabling the maximum drawdown and greatest number of wellpoints to be installed.

Pumps deployed include the Univac WP150/60 high efficiency, fully automatic general-purpose unit, either diesel or electric.

Closed Ring Installation

When you need to excavate below 7-9 metres in water-bearing aquifer, we can install a multi-stage system of wellpoint dewatering.

 


Deep Bored Pumping Well

When the water table needs lowering below 7-9 metres, conventional vertical wellpointing in stages isn’t feasible or economical. We provide an alternative the tube or bored well. A hole is bored to the required depth a mesh screen lining then allows water to accumulate at the bottom, which is removed by a pump installed in the well.

Pumps typically used for deep well gravity drainage include Pumpex electric submersible units: these pumps permit excavation down to 22m in a single stage.

Progressive Line Installation

Designed for pipelines and other similar applications, a progressive or roll along dewatering approach is installed alongside the route, preceding excavation and pipe laying. Equipment from a previously completed and backfilled section is installed at the head of the line, removing the need for large quantities of equipment.
