Groundwater Control Through Deepwell Dewatering

Deep well dewatering is recognized as a cost effective and efficient way for medium to long term dewatering of larger projects where the excavation is greater than 4m or when a WellPoint system is deemed inefficient.

Our system has many advantages:
         Minimal noise
         Easy to install
         No limits on drawdown
         Fewer Deep- wells required than well system

The main objective in any dewatering exercise is to lower the water table below the working platform and maintain the reduced level economically and efficiently for the duration of the dewatering period.
Deepwell dewatering principle
The soil profile and its permeability in and around the site will determine which type of dewatering system will be most effective. This in turn will allow SWAN DEWATERING to formulate the number and size of wells required to lower the water table for excavation. Positioning may also be considered to suit the client’s construction requirements.

Groundwater management involves strategic positioning of wells to provide a dry working platform and to limit the effects on the groundwater table (GWT) beyond the site. The reduced water table forms a cone of depression between the natural GWT and the submersible pump.
Dewatering cone of depression
The extent of local reduction in the water table is dependent on the pump depth, capacity and the permeability of the soil. The depressed water table at distance (say H) from the natural GWT depicts the dewatering of a typical high-rise site.

Deepwell Dewatering Methodology

Deepwell Dewatering Bore scheme

1.The area for installing deep sump well will be marked by surveyor and the area will be checked for existing underground utilities.

2. The sump well be installed into the ground using water jet. If the strata are hard to penetrate, then suitable bore holes will be made for installing the deep well sump.

3. After the hole is drilled, an Ø200mm PVC perforated pipe is installed into the drilled hole surrounded with 3/8 3/16 aggregate filter materials to prevent the fines entering the system.

4. The submersible pump will be installed into the perforated pipe. The pump is connected to the electrical power generator/ EB.

5. The outlet of these well pumps are connected to the vertical pipes, which is connected to the suction hose.

6. The suction hose transfers the water to the sand settling tank. The silts    settled   in   the   tanks   will   be removed and dumped in an approved location.

7. The pumps will be operated until the work is completed. On completion of all dewatering activities the bore holes will be filled with suitable approved material.

8. Water levels will be checked and recorded regularly to derive the drawdown.
