Specialist Dewatering Services Contractors in Thatcham
Established in 1996, we are specialist dewatering contractors with extensive expertise in groundwater control. Our team comprises four directors qualified in groundwater management, delivering solutions for projects ranging from small sewer repairs to major civil engineering developments. With an annual turnover exceeding 1.5 million, we have executed dewatering systems for iconic UK projects including the Channel Tunnel, Heathrow Terminal 5, and the 2012 Olympic Stadium. Our fleet includes high-efficiency wellpointing piston pumps and Grundfos borehole pumps, supported by comprehensive control systems and telemetry. We prioritise customer service, combining technical innovation with meticulous attention to detail.Our engineers are trained in installing temporary and permanent pumping systems, adhering to strict safety and environmental standards. We offer equipment hire, repair services, and tailored groundwater management strategies for diverse sectors. Our proprietary water level control technology prevents pump overheating and optimises energy use in low-permeability soils. Operating from bases in Cheshire and Berkshire, we serve clients nationwide with rapid-response dewatering solutions. This commitment to technical excellence and client collaboration has solidified our reputation as the UK's largest installer of wellpoint dewatering systems.

Services
Wellpoint Dewatering Services
Our wellpoint dewatering systems manage groundwater in varied soil conditions using high-efficiency piston pumps. The technology enables drawdown approaching 6m with low noise levels of 49dBA. We install disposable wellpoints via steel jetting tubes, preventing soil fines loss while maintaining clean water discharge for environmental compliance.
Deep Well Systems
Deep well installations address groundwater control beyond surface pump capabilities. Our drilling rigs create wells for multi-aquifer dewatering with filter systems preventing sediment discharge. Three-phase electrical systems include generator provision, while proprietary level controls prevent pump overheating through automated operation.
Water Level Control
Pressure sensor networks maintain optimal groundwater levels across sites. Systems automatically regulate pump operation to prevent dry-running damage and optimise energy use. This technology enabled 15-month compliance with strict drawdown limits at Bath's thermal springs protection zone through programmable high/low water level parameters.
Equipment Hire
We offer comprehensive dewatering equipment hire including Grundfos borehole pumps and wellpointing piston units with diesel/electric drives. Our fleet supports projects from small repairs to large developments, with ancillary systems like telemetry, flowmeters, and computerised control panels available for complete groundwater management solutions.
Borehole Pump Services
As Grundfos approved engineers, we provide installation, repair, and testing of borehole pumps. Our services include motor cooling system checks, filter material selection, and development of wells to ensure sediment-free operation. We supply complete electrical infrastructure including cabling, distribution systems, and automated control panels for reliable pump performance.
