Dewatering Well Installation for Mines & Construction

Groundwater Control Solutions for Stable, Safe, and Dry Worksites in Kamloops, Merritt, Vernon & Central BC

Managing groundwater is critical in mining operations and large-scale construction projects—whether you're protecting an open pit, excavating below grade, or stabilizing soil conditions. At Fyfe Well & Water Services, we offer professional dewatering well installation across Kamloops, Merritt, Vernon, and the Central BC Interior, helping mining firms and contractors keep their sites safe, dry, and operational. We design and install targeted, high-efficiency wellpoint and deep-well dewatering systems to control subsurface water, reduce hydrostatic pressure, and ensure your project remains on time and within budget.

Our Dewatering Services Include:

Wellpoint & Deep-Well Systems

We install single or multi-well systems tailored to your project’s size, depth, and groundwater conditions—ranging from shallow wellpoints to deep vertical wells with submersible or turbine pumps.

Hydrogeological Coordination & Site Assessment

We work with your hydrogeologist or engineer to determine optimal well placement, screen depth, spacing, and drawdown targets—ensuring effective groundwater removal with minimal environmental impact.

Pump System Sizing & Controls

We equip wells with high-performance pumping systems, variable frequency drives (VFDs), flow meters, and discharge management for reliable, regulated operation.

Temporary or Permanent Installations

Whether you need a short-term dewatering system for a construction phase or a permanent setup for a mining pit or shaft, we can design a solution that meets your timeline, compliance requirements, and performance goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

We know that large-scale water infrastructure projects often come with complex technical and regulatory questions. Below are answers to some of the most common inquiries we receive from industrial operators, engineers, and project managers working across Central BC.

How do I know if my site needs dewatering wells?
If you're digging below the water table, experiencing water seepage, or working in saturated soils, dewatering wells are often essential to ensure safety and structural integrity.

How deep can you install dewatering wells?
We install shallow and deep wells up to 1,500 feet, depending on hydrogeological conditions and drawdown requirements.

Is permitting required for dewatering systems in BC?
Yes—especially for discharge into surface water or environmentally sensitive areas. We coordinate with your environmental consultants to ensure full compliance.
