In
addition to draining retention ponds or valleys of water, dewatering can also be used to
drain underground water, which helps to dry the soil to make it more suitable
for construction. Dry soil reduces the risk of sediment being carried off by
water and helps to stabilize the landscape.
With
spring comes two things: the onset of construction season for most of our
country and rain- lots and lots of rain. The unpredictability of storms and the
amount of rainfall is all a guessing game. Jobsites flood, work stalls
and projects get delayed. Rain makes it hard to keep dry and on-schedule.
What’s the solution?
Dewatering is a technique used to control groundwater on a jobsite. In
layman’s terms, it’s the non-toxic process of separating solid waste from
sludge and temporarily lowering groundwater levels for drier and more stable
working conditions.
Groundwater has a
major impact on any construction site
Water can damage construction equipment or slow down operations. The
presence of water can also obstruct certain site tasks, such as pouring
concrete. In addition to draining retention ponds or valleys of water,
dewatering can also be used to drain underground water, which helps to dry the
soil to make it more suitable for construction. Dry soil reduces the risk of
sediment being carried off by water and helps to stabilize the landscape
favorable for construction.
