As part of early works involvement on the Shura Island Development, on behalf of Red Sea Global, WJ have undertaken a series of comprehensive pumping tests. The tests were carried out by WJ to investigate the permeability and properties of the limestone on Shura Island as part of investigation works for a prestigious hotel development. With the project right next to the sea with potentially very high permeability rock, a pumping test was important to the project’s success.
A pumping test with careful consideration and undertaken by a competent and experienced contractor can provide very useful information that can support the design and optimisation of a dewatering and shoring solution. This can save unnecessary project costs and give programme savings. WJ have over 40 years’ experience designing and undertaking pumping tests. Call us to see if a pumping test would be beneficial for your project.
WJ offers engineered solutions that allow for the installation, operation, and shutdown of dewatering systems with minimal settlement and disruption to surrounding services and structures.
When groundwater problems arise, WJ is the company to call for innovative, practical, and reliable solutions. Partner with us for a world-class experience in dewatering and pumping.

When it comes to large-scale national projects, we leverage our extensive experience and industry expertise to tackle intricate challenges head-on. Collaborating closely with clients, we develop strategic and customized solutions that not only meet but exceed expectations.
As co-authors of CIRIA C750 Groundwater Control: Design and Practice, we take pride in our extensive design capabilities. Our proficiency extends to 2D and 3D computer modeling, ensuring precision and effectiveness in crafting dewatering solutions tailored to your project's unique requirements.
Conducting thorough pumping tests allows us to intimately understand site conditions, providing valuable data for cost-effective installations and optimised program timelines. This not only reduces operating costs but also validates the original design, instilling extra confidence in both budgets and project timelines. Our commitment to comprehensive site understanding sets us apart in delivering efficient and reliable solutions.
In the pursuit of optimal dewatering solutions, we implement a spectrum of sophisticated techniques. Empirical optimisation, grounded in extensive experience and industry-established 'rules of thumb,' enables the fine-tuning of dewatering systems. Observational optimisation relies on on-site observations, particularly monitoring drawdown versus flow, providing invaluable insights for troubleshooting when ground conditions deviate from expectations.
Analytical optimisation employs precise analytical equations to estimate essential parameters for system design. Furthermore, numerical optimisation harnesses available data to populate intricate 2D and 3D models, facilitating a comprehensive analysis through a series of refined and simplified techniques. This comprehensive and strategic approach ensures the customisation of solutions tailored to the distinct requirements of each project, reflecting our commitment to professionalism and excellence..
