2. Dewatering specialists can help you focus on what you do best, foundation and construction works 

When contractors choose a DIY approach to dewatering they may loose focus on their core expertise and that can make resources and workforce thin causing them to hire more expertise than they actually need.

• Reduced efficiency: Diversifying too widely can dilute resources and attention, leading to decreased efficiency in core operations.
• Lower quality: Without a sharp focus on your expertise, the quality of products or services may suffer as attention is spread too thin.
• Increased risk: Venturing into unfamiliar scopes can expose the business to greater risks, including financial, operational, and reputational risks.
• Loss of competitive edge: Focusing on areas outside of scope may result in losing the competitive edge that comes from specialization and in-depth knowledge.
• Strained resources: Trying to do too much can strain resources, including time, money, and personnel, leading to burnout and decreased overall effectiveness.

3. Save costs and down time

Having disruptions due to water-logging on your site is the last thing you want, it is even worse when you do not plan your dewatering process well and the soil collapses at your site causing stop work orders.

Having a dewatering specialist will guarantee that there are no leakages in your dewatering pipes, there are no air leakages in your dewatering system causing inefficiencies.

With an efficient dewatering system, contractors can save on fuel and consumables, and reducing the amount of time spent dewatering. Studies have shown that contractors complete their foundation works within a shorter period of time as compared to their peers when they partnered with a dewatering specialist.

It is proven statistically that when contractors choose a DIY approach when it comes to dewatering, they spend more money and time on water disruptions, consumables, manpower, stability and safety issues.

While hiring a specialist may incur initial costs, their expertise and efficient methods can ultimately save you money by minimizing water-related disruptions, reducing project delays, and preventing costly damage to equipment and structures.

Dewatering specialists can expedite the process of water removal, allowing construction activities to proceed smoothly and on schedule without delays caused by waterlogged conditions.

Insurers will charge cheaper premiums to cover your equipment from water damage on your construction site if you have a dewatering specialist to plan your site dewatering.
