Dewatering is the process of removing water from a construction site to create a dry and safe environment for construction activities. It is a crucial step in the construction process that ensures the stability and safety of the structures being built. In this article, we will explore the various dewatering methods used in construction projects, the expertise of Abdulrahman Al-Shareef Group in dewatering, its innovative techniques, case studies of successful projects, the environmental considerations of dewatering, and the future of dewatering and Abdulrahman Al-Shareef Group’s contributions.
Importance of Dewatering in Construction Projects
Dewatering is essential in construction projects as it helps to create a safe and stable environment for construction activities. Water can undermine the stability of foundations, increase soil erosion, and cause damage to the structures being built. Dewatering helps to prevent these issues by removing water from the construction site. It also helps to reduce the risk of accidents and injuries to workers by creating a dry and safe environment.
Dewatering is especially important in excavation projects, where the water table is high. In such situations, dewatering helps to lower the water table and create a dry environment for excavation activities. Without dewatering, excavation activities can be dangerous and may lead to accidents and injuries.
Common Dewatering Methods
There are several dewatering methods used in construction projects. The most common methods include:
Wellpoint Dewatering
Well-point dewatering involves the installation of a series of small-diameter wells around the construction site. The wells are connected to a header pipe, which is then connected to a pump. The pump removes water from the wells, creating a dry and stable environment for construction activities.
The system works to drain wet soil and water and stabilize the soil to a depth of 15 feet, which can be increased according to the requirements of the project.
Deep Well Dewatering
Deep well dewatering involves the installation of a series of deep wells around the construction site. The wells are drilled to a depth below the water table and are connected to a pump. The pump removes water from the wells, creating a dry and stable environment for construction activities.
It is a multi-use dewatering system that can pump large quantities of groundwater and is the ideal system for homogeneous groundwater aquifers that extend below drilling areas.
Eductor Wells
Eductor wells are similar to deep well dewatering but use a different pumping system. Eductor wells use high-pressure water to create a vacuum that draws water from the wells. The water is then discharged through a discharge pipe, creating a dry and stable environment for construction activities.

Innovative Dewatering Techniques Used by Abdulrahman Al-Shareef Group
At Abdulrahman Al-Shareef Group, we use innovative dewatering techniques that set ourself apart from our competitors. Some of our innovative techniques include:
Vacuum-Assisted Dewatering
Vacuum-assisted dewatering involves the use of a vacuum pump to remove water from the construction site. The vacuum pump creates a suction force that draws water out of the ground and into a holding tank. This technique is highly efficient and can remove large volumes of water quickly.
Electro-Osmosis Dewatering
Electro-osmosis dewatering involves the use of electrical current to remove water from the construction site. The electrical current creates a flow of water towards the negative electrode, which is then collected and removed from the site. This technique is highly effective in clay soils and can remove water quickly and efficiently.
Case Studies Showcasing Successful Dewatering Projects
We, at Abdulrahman Al-Shareef Group, have completed several successful dewatering projects over the years. One such project was the dewatering of a construction site for King AbdulAziz University in Jeddah. The site had a high-water table, which made excavation activities difficult. At Abdulrahman Al-Shareef Group, we developed a customized dewatering solution that involved the installation of deep wells and vacuum-assisted dewatering. The solution was highly efficient, and the excavation activities were completed on time and within budget.
