Managing Runoff Water
According to Israel's National Planning Division of the Planning Administration – the issue of flooding in built-up areas is expected to become more extreme every year, due to the expected construction additions over open permeable landscapes, drainage systems that are non-compatible with the population growth and climate changes that alter the rainfall regime, making it more extreme.
Dewatering Groundwater Levels
Groundwater levels change according the seasonal weather changes, the groundwater pumping regime, and the rise in sea level
Dewatering – the concept refers to controlling groundwater level regulation, that is in order to perform specific work in a dry area in the same sector where groundwater levels are lowered, such as building underground floors.
Urban Building Scheme For Municipals
Urban Building Scheme is a document required by municipalities. The scheme includes a professional review on the plan and a detailed planning
and also includes the background data and municipal instructions for accurate planning of runoff water
Planning & Supporting Existing Drainage Problems
In recent years, we are aware of exceeding drainage problems, in both the Urban and the Private Sectors. The problems sometimes relate to a specific one-time event, and sometimes to Regional reoccurring winter events.
Our office specializes in providing flooding solutions by hydrological planning and modeling for extreme events (for authorities), or specific engineering solutions for the problem at hand.
Planning Piezometer Observation
and Assessing Groundwater Levels
Piezometer observation boreholes are placed for monitoring groundwater level elevation. It enables performing water analyses and pumping tests, all of which is required when groundwater pumping is needed during construction.
Soil surveys and soil gas surveys
סקר גזי קרקע נדרש לפני קבלת היתר בנייה באתרים החשודים בזיהום קרקע.
הסקר מאתר מזהמים נדיפים, והיזם אחראי על ביצועו על ידי גורם מוסמך עד לקבלת אישור המשרד להגנת הסביבה.
בישראל, סקרי קרקע נדרשים במקרים רבים, כמו בנייה, חקלאות ותעשייה, על מנת לזהות מזהמים בקרקע ולמנוע סיכונים סביבתיים ובריאותיים.
Groundwater Sampling
The consultant conducts an initial assessment to evaluate potential contamination and its impact on the project and surroundings.

A piezometer drilling and groundwater sampling plan is outlined in the report.
Well Injection Testing and Cleaning
High-pressure air and water flush are used to remove construction debris, sand, and fluids accumulated during drilling.
Well injection and infiltration basins require cleaning every five years or less.
Heavy rainfall strains drainage systems, so pre-winter cleaning is crucial.
Pumping and Injection Tests
Groundwater dewatering projects require careful consideration of factors like geography, geology, aquifer properties, water quality, foundation design, cost-benefit analysis, and permits.
-
Hydrological tests are essential for designing the pumping system and determining computational parameters for soil conductivity and flow estimation.
Provide expert consult
on hydrological issues for legal matters
An expert opinion is required in cases of lawsuits, flooding damage, or definition of land expropriation for drainage.
