WJ Groundwater Philippines recently joined with the rest of the global WJ group in sending engineers Allan Paul Calpito and Warren Beltran to the UK to take part in the inaugural WJ Technical Week. The purpose of this week was to share ideas, experiences and knowledge across the group, discuss ideas and strategy and to develop collaborative working approaches.

We consider personal and professional development to be crucial to WJ having become and remaining your first choice for groundwater control. On this note we are proud to announce that our “Safety and Pollution Control Officer” Philip Matitu has received a Certificate of Recognition as the “Best Safety Officer 2024” by Acciona.

Well rehabilitation is essential for maximising the functionality of wells. Leveraging our expertise in diverse treatments and redevelopment methods.

Pumping tests are vitally important to understanding the hydrological conditions at a site and provide invaluable information which can be used to design a groundwater control scheme. WJ are market leaders in the design, installation, management and analysis of these tests.

Of all the different types of construction projects WJ have worked on across our global operations, one of the most common are the construction of shafts. Shafts are constructed on a variety of different types of project – transport infrastructure, water treatment works, residential developments just to name a few, but because of their depth, dewatering is often a common requirement.

Whilst WJ have only had a presence in the Philippines for a short period of time, WJ, as a global groundwater control specialist, have been in existence for over 40 years. During that duration one of the main fixtures in the company has been that of one of our founding fathers, and current Executive Chairman – Dr Toby Roberts.

WJ Philippines are pleased to announce that our Executive Chairman, Dr Toby Roberts, will be giving three talks on Groundwater Management and Dewatering Strategies later in October.

WJ Philippines are pleased to welcome our first student intern – Carlos Andrei Berlin

In the Autumn of 2021 WJ opened our first offices in the Philippines, to join our global operations covering the UK, Canada, Poland, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar. This new office was on the back of being awarded the USD $6m dewatering contract for the new Clark-Malolos Railway Station at Clark International Airport, approximately 100km north of Manila.
