Techniques in use of well‐point equipment for dewatering operations in Australia are described. Construction features of equipment used successfully in drying‐out trenches for pipelaying, excavation for underground structures, and dewatering base area for low‐level pumping stations are discussed. Typical layouts of well‐point equipment and typical pumping equipment features are given. Case histories of recent use of well‐point equipment are presented.
