Dewatering & Shoring

MAG Unified provides specialized Dewatering & Shoring services, which are critical, non-negotiable elements of deep excavation for foundations, basements, and subterranean structures across the Middle East. In coastal and high-water-table areas common in the region, effective groundwater control and stable excavation walls are essential for the safe and successful construction of high-value assets like Sea Water Pump Stations, multi-level basements for High-Rise Buildings, and deep industrial pits.

Our unified engineering approach manages the complex geotechnical risks associated with deep digging, ensuring a stable, dry working environment for foundation construction.

Dewatering: Controlling Groundwater Ingress

Effective dewatering is crucial to maintaining the stability of the excavation base and preventing soil disturbances:

• Groundwater Control: Installation and operation of various dewatering systems, including wellpoint systems, deep wells, and ejector systems, tailored to specific soil conditions and required drawdown depths.

   

• Drawdown Management: Meticulous monitoring and management of groundwater levels to ensure the excavation base is stable and dry for critical concrete works, particularly for structures like the Wet Wells of Pump Stations.

• Discharge Compliance: Safe and regulated discharge of pumped water, adhering to all local environmental regulations in the Middle East.

Shoring: Stabilizing Excavation Walls

Shoring provides necessary structural support to the vertical excavation walls, preventing collapse and protecting adjacent structures:

• Retaining Systems: Design and installation of temporary retaining structures, including secant pile walls, sheet pile walls, soldier pile and lagging systems, and diaphragm walls.

• Bracing and Anchoring: Installation of internal bracing (struts) or external ground anchors to provide lateral support to the shoring system, ensuring maximum safety and stability for deep, large-area excavations.

• Integration: Seamless coordination of shoring installation with other foundational elements, such as the initial phases of our Piling & Stabilization Works for high-rise projects.

By partnering with MAG Unified, you secure a highly specialized, unified partner that manages the intricate and high-risk process of Dewatering & Shoring, guaranteeing a safe, stable, and dry environment for the successful construction of your deep foundations and subterranean structures across the Middle East.
