5. Equipment Operators
6. Skilled and unskilled labourers
7.3. List of Materials
1. Header Pipes
2. Slotted pipes
3. Flexible hoses & clamps
4. Sand & grave
Note: Quantity of manpower, materials and equipments shall be submitted on the daily progress report.
8. PROCEDURE
8.1. Well Points Drilling
The location of well points has to be set out, the well holes to be drilled or augured at the specified interval to
the required depth, and slotted pipes to be placed and surround to be filled with Gravel.
8.2. Header Pipes and Pump Connections
Once the well points are being constructed the header pipes should be connected with flexible hoses and
clamped. The header pipe connections shall be terminated as per design length and connected to the
dewatering pump. The Dewatering pumps should be placed on stabilized ground.
8.3. Connecting to External Strom Water Manhole
The Dewatering Pumps should be connected to Strom Water Manholes via the settlement tank by flexible
hose, prior to commissioning the pump the Dewatering Foreman has to confirm with Project Engineer /
Construction Manager that the required approval / NOC are obtained from the relevant authority.
8.4. Completion of Dewatering System
The 1st stage dewatering ring can be completed via repeating steps 8.2 to 8.4 all around the excavation area.
All the dewatering pumps are to be placed as per the design at correct location and level, in order to lower the
ground water level at least 60 cm below formation level. It should be away from building line without
hindering the subsequent concreting and waterproofing works.
8.5. Dewatering for Lift Pits
The 2nd stage dewatering system can be installed around Lift Pits and other deep excavations if required by
using same as in 1st stage or by sump pumping.
8.6. Stand by Pump
In addition to the Dewatering Pumps installed as per design, an additional Stand by pump should be
maintained at site.
8.7. Monitoring Dewatering System
The Dewatering system should be monitored 24 hrs x 7 days throughout until the completion of tanking of
basement and the hydrostatic uplift is balanced by the weight of structure, and approval of consultant to be
obtained prior to terminating dewatering system.

8.8. Monitoring Ground Water Level
Ground water level has to be monitored via installing piezometers and / or by measuring via well points at
different locations around the site throughout the duration of dewatering. These details should be recorded
on daily basis and submitted to consultant on every week. Any adverse increase of water level noticed should
be brought to consultants attention and immediate remedial to be taken.
9. HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT
Prior to commencement of activities ensure that all personal are safety inducted an aware of the nature of
work. All required PPE provided and Safety sign boards are installed.
