Infrastructure

Dewatering is essential in infrastructure projects such as highways, bridges, tunnels, and dams to manage groundwater and prevent flooding or water intrusion during construction. Infrastructure projects often involve large excavation sites that extend below the water table, making groundwater control critical for stability and safety. Wellpoint or deepwell dewatering systems are frequently used to lower groundwater levels and create dry working conditions.

 

Effective dewatering in infrastructure projects ensures the structural integrity of foundations, reduces soil instability, and prevents delays caused by water-related challenges. Additionally, dewatering helps mitigate the risks of soil erosion and settlement, ensuring long-term durability of the structures being built. The size and complexity of infrastructure projects often require extensive planning and monitoring to ensure the dewatering system can handle varying site conditions and groundwater flows.
