Arabian Equipment [AER] Provides Efficient and Reliable Groundwater Control for UAE Construction Projects

Across the UAE’s construction and infrastructure sector, one challenge remains constant: managing groundwater. With high water tables and sandy soils, excavation sites in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the Northern Emirates require effective dewatering solutions to stay dry, stable, and safe. Among all available options, wellpoint dewatering systems have become the preferred choice for contractors, and Arabian Equipment [AER] leads the way in delivering dependable, high-performance systems tailored to UAE conditions.


What Is a Wellpoint Dewatering System?

A wellpoint system consists of multiple small wells installed around an excavation area and connected to a header pipe and a vacuum pump. The system continuously draws groundwater out of the soil, lowering the water table to create safe and dry working conditions.

This method is especially popular in the UAE because it is simple to install, cost-efficient, and ideal for shallow to medium-depth excavations, making it the go-to dewatering solution for many projects.


Why Wellpoint Systems Are the Go-To Choice in the UAE
Highly Effective Groundwater Control

Wellpoint systems efficiently remove water from sandy or silty soils, which are common across Dubai and Abu Dhabi, ensuring stable excavation conditions for foundations, utilities, and pipelines.

Fast and Flexible Installation

The system can be quickly deployed in various configurations such as linear, circular, or rectangular layouts to suit different site requirements. This flexibility makes it ideal for both small and large-scale projects.

Continuous Operation with Minimal Maintenance

Powered by AER’s high-performance pumps, wellpoint systems provide 24/7 operation with low maintenance, ensuring uninterrupted site progress.

Cost-Efficient Solution

Compared to deep well systems, wellpoints are more affordable for shallow excavations and consume less energy, helping contractors save on both time and operational costs.
