Groundwater on an excavation site stops work, weakens the soil and delays foundation pours. Middle East Asas Contracting (MEIC) delivers dewatering systems for excavations, foundations and basements — starting with a site study and system design, through supplying and installing the pumps, to operating and monitoring them until the site is handed over dry and safe for structural works.
When do you need dewatering?
- A rising groundwater level inside the excavation before the foundations are poured.
- Rainwater or seepage collecting in open excavations.
- Building basements and underground tanks in areas with a high water table.
- Laying networks and trenches below the water table.
- Drying out an existing excavation that has flooded before work resumes.
What we provide
- Site study: Inspecting the excavation, measuring the water level and estimating the required discharge.
- System design: Choosing the right method — open sump pumping, deep dewatering wells or wellpoints — according to the soil and the excavation depth.
- Pumps and equipment: Submersible pumps, self-priming diesel pumps, hoses and discharge lines, and control panels.
- Installation and operation: Installing the system and running it around the clock when needed, with a monitoring technician.
- Water discharge: Routing the pumped water to a suitable discharge point in line with the site requirements.
- Monitoring: Tracking the water level and pump performance until the foundation or basement works are finished.
- Rental: Weekly or monthly rental of dewatering pumps and equipment, with an operating technician on request.
