Water management during construction

Almadius offers its support in water management during construction. Our team develops tailor-made solutions to optimize your project and its cost, respect regulatory constraints and protect the environment during your construction site.

Construction sites and their impact on the environment

Construction activities involve handling quantities of soil and impact water resources . These actions can have serious repercussions on the environment: waterproofing of soils, increased risk of flooding and runoff, pollution of surface and groundwater, subsidence of the soil surface due to uncontrolled dewatering, etc.

Water management: protect your site and the environment

Faced with these challenges, effective water management during construction is essential. This approach ensures the viability of the project and guarantees its compliance with current environmental regulations. It avoids delays, unforeseen costs, or even the cessation of activities. In addition, it limits the impact of the construction site on the environment, in particular on soil and surface or underground water.

Our water management services during construction

For the completion of your construction project, Almadius offers its expertise for water management during construction.

Groundwater drawdown studies

During underground work or deep foundations, the project may require groundwater drawdown. This process involves lowering the level of the groundwater. To obtain the permit, this water table drawdown must have no influence on the overall environment.

Almadius determines the drawdown flow rates, the influences on the environment and local residents and on this basis, develops techniques and technologies allowing the groundwater level to be reduced in a controlled and safe manner, without compromising the stability of the ground or causing environmental damage. After a detailed study of the terrain and groundwater, we design the appropriate drawdown technique.

Management of runoff and muddy flows

Any modification of the terrain and any storage of soil during a construction site can lead to an increase in water runoff and muddy flows. This is a risk both for the project and for neighboring infrastructure.

Depending on the situation, we offer permanent and temporary solutions to manage runoff water and muddy flows on site: good land storage practices, collection network, retention and sedimentation basin, infiltration system, etc.

FAQ: Water management during construction

What does water management during construction involve?

K
L

On-site water management consists of controlling and minimizing the impact of construction work on water , whether runoff, surface or groundwater. This management involves carrying out a preliminary study in order to assess the risks of the site on water and then provide concrete solutions .

Why do we need to manage water during construction?

K
L

Good water management on site helps prevent soil waterproofing , risks flooding and pollution of soil and water. This study also makes it possible to comply with current regulations in order to obtain planning permission.

What are Almadius' solutions for water management during construction?

K
L

The technologies offered depend on each site. We offer temporary or permanent solutions : sizing of catchment works, limitation of impacts, runoff control barrier, retention basin, infiltration installations, etc.
