About Sump Dewatering
Underground dewatering and drainage are required for mining operations, quarries, and gravel pits to enable uninterrupted mining operations and to offer a favorable environmental solution. Abrasives such as sand, clay particles, drill cuttings, and other potentially damaging materials are frequently found in dewatering from rock faces in stopes in mine shafts, quarries, or gravel pits.

Sump dewatering is a dependable option in a variety of conditions, and it’s also known as the simplest, most cost-efficient, and most successful dewatering approach. A sump is a hole or region in the ground (deeper than the basement floor) where water is collected and pumped away to be disposed of.

How it works.
Drains and sumps are constructed at one or more sides or corners of the foundation pit. The drains collect the groundwater and convey it into the sump. From the sump, the water is continuously pumped (either manually or mechanically).
