Olympic Pipeline Relocation
Fife, Washington
THE CHALLENGE
Lowering groundwater 10-12 ft. below ground surface for the excavation to relocate approximately 1900lf of pipeline. The wellpoints had to be installed in 3-4 ft. of standing water due to it being in wetlands.
THE SOLUTION
Griffin installed three dewatering systems utilizing the standard jetting method that consisted of a total of 372 wellpoints approximately 6 ft. on center for the bore pits and the 20-inch pipeline. Wellpoints were also installed at 3ft on center for the two creek crossings. Two Griffin 8in wellpoint pumps were placed along the alignment at select locations.
