Well Point Dewatering
Australian Dewatering Systems' well point (also known as spear point) dewatering system is an effective and economical way to reduce the level of the water table to the required excavation level.
Well point systems use a vacuum system to lower the water table; where the vacuum system becomes inefficient, a deep well system is then required.
Well point dewatering is used to lower the water table to the required excavation depth and another major benefit is the reduction of hydrostatic pressure off the back of the sheet piled wall.
Well point dewatering can effectively draw the water table down to between 3 and 8 metres depending on the type of pump set used and the type of soil conditions.
