Civil Engineering and Dewatering

Groundwater issues can often be a major headache for project managers on infrastructure projects, particularly road and tunnel developments. This is usually because of the difficult combination of the inherent uncertainty in ground conditions, the costs and time required for investigation, and the complex and often slow regulatory regime. When such issues come up they need prompt and efficient action. ESI's skills in groundwater risk assessment and  groundwater modelling are in high demand across the civil engineering industry as there is a general shortage of skilled and experienced staff in this area.

As a specialist consultancy, ESI has a very good record of working as part of broader multi-disciplinary teams to deliver high quality products to the client on time and to budget. Our large team of over 40 groundwater scientists means that we can react promptly to sudden demands for high quality solutions.  We have a strong record in developing groundwater models to accurately predict the effects of dewatering projects on groundwater levels, flows and quality.

Over recent years, ESI has provided technical support to the teams planning and developing some of the most significant civil engineering and dewatering projects in the UK.  This includes the CTRL, the proposed Stonehenge Tunnel, Thames Water's proposed Upper Thames Reservoir as well as a number of other major road and tunnel projects.
