A well point is a small-diameter pipe fitted with a driving point and a fine mesh screen, used to create shallow wells or dewater construction sites. It is driven into the ground, allowing water to enter through the screen while blocking sand or debris. Well points are often used in sandy or loose soils where quick, temporary water extraction is needed, such as for irrigation or lowering groundwater levels during excavation. Regular inspection and cleaning of well points ensure consistent water flow, prevent clogging, and maintain efficient water extraction.
