Construction Site Dewatering
Dewatering is essential for maintaining dry working conditions on construction sites. Effective dewatering prevents foundation damage, maintains soil stability, and ensures worker safety.
Common Dewatering Methods
- Sump Pumping: Collecting water in sumps and pumping out
- Wellpoint Systems: Array of shallow wells connected to a header
- Deep Wells: Individual wells with submersible pumps
- Eductor Systems: High-pressure water-driven vacuum systems
Pump Selection for Dewatering
Key factors include expected flow rate, total dynamic head, solids handling capability, and whether self-priming or auto-prime is needed.
Remko diesel-driven auto-prime pumps are the industry standard for Australian construction dewatering, offering reliability without external power requirements.
