Well Point

A well-point system consists of a number of well points spaced along a trench, or around an excavation site, all connected to a common header which is attached to one or more well-point pumps. Well-point assemblies -made up of a well-point, screen, riser pipe, and swing joint with tuning- are generally installed by jetting. They provide, the absorption water into the system, by creation of a partial vacuum. The water is then pumped off through the header pipe.
