Essential Dewatering expertise was required from Khansaheb Sykes during 2010 to support the Prestigious ‘Yas Island’ project in Abu Dhabi.

A large new ‘storm water pumping station’ was needed as part of this major development within Yas Island and this required specialist dewatering due to the deep excavation work.

A section of this project was for a 700m storm water pipe to be installed 18m below the natural ground level.
Here Khansaheb Sykes’s specialist expertise within Dewatering solutions was called to action. Due to the depth of excavation, Deep Well Dewatering was best suited for this project. In total, 17 Deep Wells were installed and operated by fully trained Khansaheb Sykes personnel (on a 24hour basis), thereby maintaining an essential ‘dry area’ for the client to carry out all their essential works.

With the only suitable discharge point being over 1km away from site, 8” Sykes diesel powered booster pumps were also utilised from the extensive hire fleet to assist with this water flow.
