Overcoming Subterranean Water Challenges

The Problem:

During the construction of a building in Dubai, persistent groundwater intrusion presented significant challenges, particularly during excavation and foundation works. The continuous inflow of water created unstable ground conditions, posing risks to machinery, delaying construction timelines, and compromising worker safety. These issues led to repeated project interruptions and increased costs, with added pressures to maintain structural integrity and adhere to safety standards.

Impact:

The excessive presence of groundwater disrupted construction activities by causing delays in excavation and foundation works. Machinery malfunctions and safety hazards arose due to the unstable ground, resulting in extended downtime, increased operational expenses, and heightened risk of structural defects. Managing these challenges became essential to prevent further financial loss and ensure smooth project execution.

Pumps Used:

CAP 150 H EW
