A typical wellpoint system consists of a series of small diameters wells known as wellpoints connected via a header pipe.
Well point dewatering procedure.
The following procedure is adopted in the well point.
Wellpoint dewatering is widely used for excavations of shallow depths especially for pipeline trench excavations.
The wells are arranged either in a line or a rectangular form where the wellpoints are created at a distance of at least 2m from each other.
In appropriate ground conditions a wellpoint system can be installed speedily and made operational rapidly.
The ground water table is influenced by means of drawing it down through the well points spears that are installed around the excavation area.
Procedure of well point system.
Well points are prepared at a distance of about 1m around the area to be excavated.
