Drilled Well Sump Pumps
Sump pump dewatering is a commonly used method in construction to remove water from excavations, construction wells, or basements. When working below the water table or in areas with high ground water levels, it becomes necessary to control and remove the water to create a safe and dryer working environment. This type of system is more commonly installed in clay formations with a high-water level.
Here’s how sump pump dewatering typically works construction wells:
A drilled hole and a slotted casing are installed below the excavated area. A sump pump is lowered into the excavated hole to the lowest point. The pump is connected via
a discharge hose to a main discharge head pipe that takes the groundwater to sediment tank and magnetic flow meter and discharged
to sewer point via trade waste agreement.
