TCES Tunnels' Shafts — Phase 01 / Deep Wells Dewatering Scope

Hydrology & Hydrogeology

ClientSBG

Overview

For a major tunnels-and-shafts programme, ERCAN delivered the deep-wells dewatering scope — making it possible to excavate below the water table safely and on schedule.

Scope

  • Hydrogeological data analysis, interpretation & model development
  • Conceptual hydrological models
  • Drilling, logging, pumping-test programme & geophysical borehole logging
  • Groundwater sampling & chemical investigation
  • Recharge wells per shaft/drain system & monitoring installation
  • Dewatering model runs and supply & install of the dewatering system

Engineering Challenge

Controlling groundwater inflow into deep shafts without destabilising surrounding ground, requiring precise prediction of aquifer behaviour before a single pump was installed.

Delivery & Outcome

A full conceptual and numerical hydrogeological model built from drilling, borehole logging, pumping tests and chemical sampling — then translated into a recharge-well and dewatering system, installed with monitoring.

A validated, model-driven dewatering installation that kept the shafts dry and the programme moving, delivered in eight months.
