Dewatering Solutions

Whether you are preparing a construction site or excavation a new pipeline trench, dewatering is an essential part of the process.

The presence of underground water is a major obstacle, adding various unnecessary risks, costs and delays to the project. Simply removing the visible groundwater is not always enough, as seepage can compromise the stability of excavation slopes.
To ensure that this does not happen, lowering the groundwater levels through pre-drainage is often necessary. 

Our specialized team at Pump Hire can help you find the right application and solution for your work site. We can also assist in managing the dewatering project from beginning to end with our expertise.
