About Alba De-Watering
With over 100 years’ combined experience, Alba De-Watering are one of the leading UK providers for design, supply and installation of groundwater control systems. In 2016 they set up their own pumping division which consists of design, fabrication and installation. They provide a first-class service and a personal approach to all jobs, expertise and equipment allow them to carry out more complex and bespoke systems to solve difficult groundwater problems.

Groundwater dewatering & Remediation: Dewatering Is the removal of groundwater to allow work to be carried out in dry conditions by use of different types of dewatering process and remediation is the cleaning of the water.
Dewatering Methods: There are a variety of different methods including, Well Drilling, Cable Percussive Drilling (Shell & Auger), Rotary drilling and Auger Drilling. The most suitable method should be chosen and can vary from project to project.
Pump Testing & Monitoring: To ascertain the hydrogeological characteristics of the ground so that any unforeseen conditions can be factored in during the design stage, an aquifer test is carried out. Water is abstracted from the aquifer by pumping at a controlled rate and the water level response or drawdown is observed in a series of observation wells. Response data from pumping tests are used to estimate the hydraulic properties of the aquifers, evaluate well performance and identify aquifer boundaries. The advantage is that this process is far less costly in the context of a dewatering project once work on site begins.
Groundwater Dewatering & Remediation: Groundwater can often contain contaminants or becomes polluted with organic and inorganic chemicals which can be a hazard to public health. Remediation is the process used to treat water that has been contaminated either organically, or inorganically. Water can contain levels of organic substances that are too high for safety and have to be removed such as iron, manganese, calcium and magnesium. At Alba Dewatering, we help by taking a sample from pumping systems and bore holes. Once these have been analyzed for types of contaminant, and the conditions have been examined, we can recommend and carry out the best method for the job.
