| Waste Water Treatment Plant |
| |
|
| The entire site of the new Vernon Waste Water
Treatment Plant required wellpoint dewatering.
Two wellpoint pumps were used to control ground water levels as the
soils were structurally placed and all deep concrete footings, slabs
and walls were poured. |
| |
| Wellpoint Systems |
| |
|
| With todays standards of installing underground utilities
contractors can't afford to battle ground water. Excel dewatering
installed this wellpoint system into highly permiable
gravels and pumped nearly 4000 GPM to achieve a dry ditch for the
crews. |
| |
| Condo Foundation Soil RE & RE Project |
| |
|
| Building sites such as these that were once considered
"wet lands" are now requiring wellpoint dewatering
to lower the water table to remove the Peat soils and place the geo
fabric and structural fill material. |
| |
| Hotel Site |
| |
|
| This ocean front hotel site required a perimeter wellpoint
system to control ground water during the piling and deep
center concrete footing installation. Dewatering
was also necessary to complete the installation of the structural
floating concrete slab. Heavy rains and fluctuating tides kept Excel
Dewatering crews very busy monitoring this project to overcome
"mother nature " and keep the site free of ground water. |
| |
| Earth Dam Rehabilitation |
| |
|
| To repair this earth dam the reservoir had to be pumped
down to the lowest point and then the wellpoint system
was installed to dewater the sands below. After excavation was achieved
impermeable material was hauled in to re-seal the affected area. |
| |
| Artesian Pressure Relief |
| |
|
| Prior to the excavation of this school site a previously
back filled swamp area had to be dewatered to install
a perforated drain system to control water levels. The wellpoint system
was used to relieve artesian ground water pressure to allow this work
to be completed. |
| |
| River Diversion and Potable Water Intake Structure
|
| |
|
| Aqua Dam was utilized to divert the Thompson river
for the installation of a new fresh water intake gallery and wet well
structure. Excel Dewatering monitored the pumping equipment 24/7 at
this project ensuring a dry work area. |
| |
| Highway Expansion Project |
| |
|
| A portion of this $7 mil highway expansion project
in Kelowna req'd dewatering. This wellpoint system lowered the water
table over 8 feet for the soils work to be completed in the dry. |
