ENVIRONMENTAL SITE ASSESSMENTS

OVERVIEW


PRI Engineering’s environmental geotechnical experts develop comprehensive Dewatering Management Plans (DMPs) that address site-specific groundwater conditions and regulatory requirements. Effective dewatering controls water levels to allow safe excavation and foundation work while protecting water quality and nearby water bodies.

Our team evaluates soil properties and groundwater levels, designs appropriate pumping and treatment systems, and monitors discharge to ensure compliance and sustainability throughout the project lifecycle.to determine the need for dewatering.

KEY BENEFITS:

  • REDUCED CONSTRUCTION DELAYS: Controls water accumulation to keep the site dry and accessible.

  • COST CONTROL: Minimizes expenses related to water removal, treatment, and potential fines.

  • ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION: Prevents contamination and disruption to natural watercourses and ecosystems.

  • REGULATORY COMPLIANCE: Ensures adherence to permits and environmental guidelines.

  • RISK MITIGATION: Avoids soil instability, flooding, and damage to adjacent properties or infrastructure.
