ADNOC Onshore: Dewatering Well Drilling and PVC Installation (Khansaheb Sykes)
Project Facts
- Client: ADNOC Onshore
- Partner / Main Contractor: Khansaheb Sykes
- Location: Ruwais
- Scope: Dewatering well drilling and installation of PVC pipe
Project Overview
In construction and industrial environments, dewatering wells are an enabling scope: they protect productivity, reduce wet-work risk, and stabilize the excavation environment. Delivering dewatering wells requires installation accuracy, controlled sequencing, and readiness for operational integration.
Scope of Work
The scope comprised dewatering well drilling and installation of PVC pipe. The primary objective was installation readiness for dewatering operations, with practical documentation aligned to stakeholder requirements.
Delivery Approach
-
Planning: confirming layout intent, access constraints, and operational interfaces
-
Drilling: controlled progression to achieve installation requirements
-
PVC installation: disciplined placement to support stable well completion
-
Operational readiness: ensuring the well completion supports integration with pumping and discharge controls as required
“Groundwater works can create operational disruption if interfaces are not managed (access, discharge routing, wet areas). The project delivery model prioritized practical controls that support continuity and safe work conditions.”
