Wellpoint systems
Centrifugal units draw a vacuum on the header main and lift water from closely spaced wellpoints around the excavation.
Apex builds and supplies dewatering pumps in the UAE under its own brand — centrifugal, piston and submersible — together with the hose, fittings, panels and generators needed to run a complete system.
Dewatering Pump in UAE — quick facts

|---|---|
| Centrifugal max. flow | 400 m³/hour |
| Centrifugal max. head | 50 m |

| Suction lift | 9 m |
| Supplied by | Apex Emirates General Trading Co. L.L.C., Dubai and Ajman |
Overview
A dewatering pump in the UAE has to move sandy, abrasive water continuously for months without stopping. Apex develops its own pumps for exactly that duty and holds them, plus their spares, in the Al Aweer and Ajman workshops.
Centrifugal pumps are the workhorse for wellpoint systems and general site dewatering: high flow, moderate head, and able to pass solids up to 50 mm. Trailer mounted on four wheels for fast redeployment.
Piston pumps are double acting and skid mounted, chosen where suction lift matters more than raw flow — up to 9 m suction head and 27 m delivery.
Submersible pumps sit down the well itself, which is what makes deepwell systems work. Single and multistage units are available, with double mechanical seals for continuous running in sandy water.

Applications
Centrifugal units draw a vacuum on the header main and lift water from closely spaced wellpoints around the excavation.
Submersible pumps installed down individual bored wells, each sized to the drawdown required at that location.
Piston and centrifugal units handling residual seepage, trench dewatering and municipality drainage works.
Questions
Pump duty comes from the design, not the catalogue. Flow is set by how much water the ground will yield, which depends on permeability and the area being dewatered; head is set by how far the water has to be lifted and pushed to the discharge point. Send the excavation dimensions, formation level and soil report and Apex will size the pumps as part of the system design.
Yes. Apex Emirates General Trading supplies pumps, hose, fittings, panels and generators as an equipment sale, separately from the dewatering contracting division.
Yes — that is the design condition. The centrifugal range passes solids up to 50 mm, and the wetted parts use 316 stainless steel shafts and bronze impellers because abrasive UAE groundwater is what these pumps run in continuously.
The Al Aweer and Ajman workshops hold spare parts for pumps, engines and machinery, along with dewatering accessories for jobs of any magnitude. That is what allows the mobile repair team to cover site breakdowns around the clock.
