Dewatering

Quick Assessment and Implementation

When groundwater infiltration and contamination threatens safety and progress on a heavy civil construction site, Michels has the skills and expertise to quickly assess the situation, design an effective solution and implement it. We use a variety of groundwater control and treatment systems, including dewatering wells, wellpoints, eductors and sumps, to solve all of your groundwater challenges.

Our highly qualified teams have access to a large and varied inventory of pumping equipment as well as drill rigs, jet trucks, one-pass trenchers and support equipment.

Michels also designs and builds bypass pumping systems to temporarily reroute rivers, streams and sewers around active construction sites.

Individual commitment to a group effort - that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.

Great teamwork can do great things.

Combining Art and Science

Construction site dewatering is a mix of art and science, and Michels has a deep understanding of how the concepts co-mingle. Our qualified staff has hundreds of years of experience in dewatering design, installation, operation and management across the United States. While racking up the years, we also accumulated an enviable amount on insight about how to tackle challenging dewatering projects.

Michels plans and builds temporary and permanent turnkey solutions. We also offer around-the-clock emergency response and OSHA-certified staff members who are prepared to deal with hazardous and toxic environments.
