Surface Dewatering

When the environment of the area of works permits, we set up a surface dewatering device, generally provided for a limited pumping flow rate

Surface dewatering is recommended for low permeability ground. It enables the capture of the water table water into trenches filled with drainage blankets connected to sumps.

Setting up this pumping technique will depend on several factors: geology, lowering height, adjoining structures and the overall environment of the site.
