Frequently Asked Questions

• What is Dewatering?

  Dewatering is the temporary removal of ground water to enable contractors to construct buildings, roadways,  install utilities and create lakes and ponds.

• What type of Dewatering do you specialize in?

  We specialize in the installation of "sock" drain tubing.

• What is a "sock?"

  A sock is a corrugated plastic tubing with holes, surrounded by a filter fabric (the "sock").  The tubing is installed into the ground with a trencher.  It collects ground water which is evacuated by means of a well-point pump.

• What is the advantage of sock dewatering over other dewatering technologies (such as well points)?

  Sock dewatering tubing is installed completely  below ground, out of the way of your construction.  We can place the tubing exactly where needed for your project.  If the ends of the tubing are preserved, the work area can be dewatered in the future, if necessary, for required repairs to previously installed utility lines, etc.
