dewatering wells
Could be a dewatering well

The following suggests that these wells are used to relieve pressure, but I'd still call it a dewatering well (also my logic is that when wells are used for pressurizing they called them e.g. water/steam injection well rather than pressurizing well).

Same answer as I gave to Jandrew on 9 March. :)
Establishment of relief boreholes (bleeding wells).
Found this in my Translation Memory, but a colleague did the research, so I can't give you more details. Hope it helps, anyway.

Note from asker:
| Thanks Gitte ... I'm not entirely convinced though. I can't seem to find any references on Google that convince me. I'll wait and see if there are any other suggestions before accepting 'bleeding well' |
