RELIEF WELLS
EFFECTIVE GROUNDWATER RELIEF
Communities across the country rely on levees to keep their towns safe. Relief wells are a vital tool in maintaining a structurally sound levee system under flooding conditions. When excess groundwater pressure threatens the integrity of levees, CDS stands tall as an industry leader in the installation of pressure relief wells.
