Construction dewatering

We provide tailored practical dewatering solutions for your site, no matter the size, from car-stacker pit dewatering, to full scale bulk groundwater management for multi-level basements.  We can provide an effective solution to ensure that your project remains on-time and on-budget.

Water discharge and management

Discharge of excavation water must be managed in accordance with the regulations of the relevant Water Authority for your site. ESG Environmental can undertake the appropriate water testing to determine the suitability of excavation water for discharge to either stormwater or sewer.  

We advise on the most cost effective way to manage the discharge of water and if required will negotiate a Trade Waste Agreement on your behalf.

If a Trade Waste Agreement is required, we will provide and install the required apparatus to fulfill Trade Waste requirements (i.e. settling tanks, electromagnetic flow meter).
