Dewatering – PE-Approved Submittals

BEI provides engineering design and PE-sealed submittals for temporary and permanent construction dewatering systems. Services span from pre-bid site assessments through final well abandonment, covering both shallow and deep groundwater conditions across diverse Texas geologies.

Scope of Services

  • Geotechnical data review: SPT logs, bore logs, and soil stratigraphy interpretation
  • Groundwater analysis: static and drawdown levels, permeability estimation, and aquifer characterization
  • Dewatering system design: wellpoint, deep well, eductor, and open sump configurations
  • Well spacing, screen interval, and pump sizing calculations
  • Settlement and subsidence risk assessment relative to adjacent structures and utilities
  • Regulatory compliance: TCEQ groundwater discharge permits, NOI/NOC preparation
  • Dewatering specifications and monitoring plans for contractor execution
  • PE-sealed well abandonment plans per 16 TAC §76.104
  • Pre-bid site assessments incorporating NASA/satellite-derived datasets (SMAP, GRACE-FO) for regional groundwater and soil moisture context
  • Technical-legal documentation for liability disputes involving dewatering-attributed claims
