Dewatering Solutions for Construction Sites

One of the primary tasks involved in any construction site is dewatering. The site needs to be dewatered and dried before laying foundation. Groundwater level needs to be lowered before beginning any kind of excavation on the site. So, dewatering solutions are crucial on construction sites and submersible pumps play a vital role in controlling the water level. Not just groundwater, even rain water can cause problems on a construction site. Whether the construction site needs dewatering or not is never a question; the question is what kind of dewatering solution the site needs.

Construction dewatering is the removal or draining groundwater or surface water from a riverbed, construction site, mine shaft and other areas.

Dewatering solutions are required during – 

• Foundation work for construction of building
• Road construction
• Control of Ground water level
• Sedimentations tanks at construction sites
• Tunnel construction

Type of dewatering solution ideal for construction site depends on water quality & various solids/impurities present in water. The concentration and type of solids influence the choice of pump & MOC of pump which can be used to dewater the site. Basically, different types of pumps used for dewatering construction sites include –

• One of the most commonly used pumps, a drainage pump is used for pumping water with less abrasive solids, like clay. Sand, not in a concentrated form, and solids in suspension can also be pumped using drainage pumps.
• Sludge pumps are suitable for pumping water with solids as well as for pumping sludge.
• Slurry pumps are designed to handle abrasive solids in suspension, like sand, gravel and others in high concentration.
