Wellpoint Dewatering Piston Pumps

Wellpoint dewatering pumps remove groundwater to temporarily lower the water table, creating dry conditions for underground construction, tunnelling, trenching, civil engineering and maintenance works.

Piston pumps operate on the positive displacement principle, pushing extracted groundwater to the discharge point. They are engineered for shallow excavations where multiple small-diameter wellpoints must continuously remove water to maintain a safe, dry work zone.

One of their key advantages is the ability to pump both water and air. As groundwater levels drop, wellpoint systems entrain large volumes of air — a condition piston pumps handle with ease. Their ability to run dry indefinitely makes them particularly well-suited for wellpointing applications.
