Groundwater dewatering

At Seek Engineering, we design efficient groundwater dewatering systems tailored to each construction site. Our systems ensure safe groundwater removal, creating a dry and stable work environment.

What is Groundwater Dewatering?

Groundwater dewatering involves lowering the water table by removing water from soil or rock beneath the surface. It is essential for creating stable conditions for construction, especially in areas with high groundwater levels. This process helps prevent soil instability and reduces safety risks.

Benefits of Groundwater Dewatering

  1. Improved Site Safety: Dewatering reduces soil saturation, making the site more stable and safe for work.
  2. Protection of Structures: It prevents water pressure from damaging building foundations and underground structures.
  3. Faster Construction: A dry work area allows for quicker and more efficient construction, minimizing delays.

Our Groundwater Dewatering Systems

We offer various dewatering systems designed to meet the needs of your project:

  1. Wellpoint Systems: These systems are ideal for shallow excavations. Small wells connected to vacuum pumps remove groundwater efficiently from sandy or loose soil.

  2. Deep Well Systems: For deeper excavations, we use submersible pumps to remove water from below the excavation level, making them ideal for large-scale projects.

  3. Sump Pump Systems: A simple, cost-effective solution for temporary or small projects. Water is collected in sumps and pumped away to keep the area dry.

  4. Ejector Systems: Best suited for cohesive soils, such as clay, ejector systems use high-pressure air to extract groundwater efficiently.

Groundwater Management and Environmental Compliance

Proper groundwater management is key to avoiding environmental issues like subsidence or contaminated water discharge. We ensure all dewatering designs comply with environmental regulations. Our systems include:

  • Filtration: Filters to remove contaminants before water is discharged.
  • Ongoing Monitoring: We monitor the system throughout the project to maintain efficiency and handle fluctuations in water levels.
