Expert Borehole & Drilling Dewatering Services

Borehole Drilling, part of the dewatering process

It is very important to install correctly, i.e. location, depth and performance, to optimise artificial reduction of the water table. It involves drilling strategically placed wells to pump groundwater out. Widely used in construction, civil engineering, mining and ground-source energy projects. To keep excavation sites, deep foundations, and tunnels dry and safe, structurally, before building.

Alba Dewatering is extremely experienced in installing boreholes for dewatering, groundwater control, and pumping tests. The great advantage of a borehole is that it can permeate the aquifer to a significant depth to lower the water table.

We can advise you and manage by taking on all work for any requirements. To ensure that drilling is undertaken responsibly and compliantly.


Alba Dewatering also offers a variety of other services, including groundwater remediation and treatment, bespoke pump testing and monitoring, wellpoint dewatering, and inhouse design, fabrication and construction.

For boreholes, drilling, site investigation & ground testing.

Dewatering site investigation and ground testing

Site Investigation & Ground Testing

Site investigation is essential as it identifies underground conditions, as is pump testing, to ensure stable, safe, successful and environmentally compliant projects. Boreholes and drilling vitally allow us to test soil conditions, by permeating the aquifer to a significant depth to lower the water table. Accessing water supplies and managing groundwater.

Soil & Rock: Extracting high-quality soil and rock core samples allow us to analyse underground geology.

Permeability Testing: Assessing how easily water flows through the ground.

Pumping Tests: Testing aquifer capacity and water yield, by pumping water out of a borehole.

Geophysical Logging: Mapping rock layers and identifying water quality by using electronic tools sent down the borehole.
