Introduction
Water is removed from a construction site and moved to another location, such as a detention pond or forest so that the site can be worked on safely. Construction sites require dewatering before work can begin.
The depth of the drawdown and the amount of water table lowering required are the major determinants of which the dewatering technique should be used.
What do you mean by Dewatering?
As a construction site is dewatered and the water is moved to a pond, tank, or another location, depending on local regulations, construction work can begin or continue. Dewatering can be done in a variety of ways, but evaporation or pumping are usually the two most common methods.
Dewatering: Why Is It Needed?
Depending on the location of a construction site, dewatering may be necessary, especially if it is in an area prone to flooding or holds stormwater after heavy rains.
As a result of dewatering activities, the work site stays safe, prevents slippery mud from forming, provides stabilization, and promotes erosion control.
It is important to pump water to help in the following ways:
- Ensure that the construction site is prepared
- Safety on the job site should be promoted
- Ensure efficient project management
Dewatering methods: why it matters
When there is undesired water present on a construction site, it can lead to a number of potential safety risks, increased costs, and delays to your project.
The right technique must be used to control, manage and remove water from the site during the preparation and excavation of the surface or the completion of dry site construction work on the site.
Taking into consideration that the geology and hydrology of each location will be different, this becomes even more important.
What are the common methods of Dewatering Methods?
A dewatering system can be categorized into four types: the wellpoint, the sump pumping, the eductor well, and the deep well. Depending on the type of soil and the type of excavation, different types of dewatering methods will work best.
