The Importance of Wellpoint Dewatering for Complex Construction Sites in the UAE

Construction projects in the UAE often face unique challenges. The region’s climate, terrain and high-water tables can compromise the safety and efficiency of operations, leading to delays. Therefore, the importance of groundwater management through wellpoint dewatering systems cannot be understated.

What is wellpoint dewatering?

Through the use of dewatering pumps, wellpoint dewatering is a system used to manage groundwater in construction sites and lower the water table. To lower the water table to a safe level, small wells, known as wellpoints, are installed around the perimeter of the site. The wellpoints are connected to a vacuum dewatering pump, which draws water from the ground and then discharges it. read more
