Construction Wastewater Treatment: Site Dewatering Solutions

April 26, 2026

Comments are closed.

Construction sites generate significant wastewater from dewatering excavations, concrete washing, and equipment cleaning. Learn effective treatment solutions for construction applications.

Types of Construction Wastewater

  • Excavation dewatering: High sediment content, variable pH
  • Concrete washout: High pH, suspended solids
  • Equipment washdown: Oil, grease, particulates
  • Drill cuttings: Drilling fluid and cuttings

Treatment Technologies

Sedimentation/Clarification

  • Settling tanks for gravity separation
  • Portable sedimentation units
  • Plate clarifiers for space-constrained sites

Filtration Systems

  • Geotextile bag filters
  • Sand filters for polishing
  • Bag filters for fine particles

Chemical Treatment

  • Coagulant dosing for fine particles
  • pH adjustment as needed
  • Flocculant addition for rapid settling

Portable Treatment Solutions

We offer mobile treatment units ideal for construction sites:

  • Containerized treatment plants
  • Truck-mounted systems
  • Skid-mounted compact units

Compliance Requirements

Ensure discharge meets local standards:

  • TSS limits (typically 50-100 mg/L)
  • pH range (6-9 typically)
  • Oil and grease limits
