Deep Well Dewatering Systems
High-capacity deep well systems for large excavations and high water table environments.
Overview
Deep Well Dewatering — Our Core Specialty
Deep well dewatering is Kelley Dewatering's core specialty. We design and install high-capacity deep well systems that lower groundwater levels for deep excavations, large infrastructure projects, and high water table environments where wellpoint systems cannot achieve the required drawdown.
With over 30 years of deep well experience, our team delivers complete groundwater management solutions including well spacing, pump sizing, and system optimization for consistent drawdown in challenging soil and excavation conditions. We are members of the National Ground Water Association (NGWA) and licensed in multiple states.
Key Benefits
- Achieve significant groundwater drawdown (20+ feet)
- Handle high-volume groundwater extraction
- Suitable for large excavation footprints
- Effective in confined aquifer conditions
- Scalable systems for any project size
- Continuous monitoring and optimization

Frequently Asked Questions
How deep can deep well systems dewater?
Deep well systems can achieve drawdown of 50 feet or more, depending on aquifer conditions and pump selection. We design each system to meet your specific depth requirements.
How many wells are needed for a project?
The number of wells depends on excavation size, soil permeability, and required drawdown. Our engineers calculate optimal well spacing to achieve uniform groundwater lowering.
What is the difference between deep wells and wellpoints?
Deep wells use individual submersible pumps in larger-diameter casings and can achieve much greater drawdown than vacuum-assisted wellpoint systems, which are limited to about 15-20 feet.
How long does deep well installation take?
Installation time varies by project size. A typical system of 6-10 wells can be installed and operational within 3-5 days of mobilization.
