If you have commissioned a company with this, don’t worry too much and leave it to the contracted company. The calculations for the groundwater lowering will probably have been done in the background. A construction excavator who has worked in groundwater more often should know about this. In my opinion, the soakaway well makes little sense as an infiltration point, unless this soakaway well is 100m away from the excavation pit. Otherwise, you are just pumping in a circle. And the soakaway well is very limited in its absorption capacity, unless it has a diameter of 2m and a correspondingly large/much infiltration area. Of course, it may be that the soakaway well is necessary because the sewer cannot take 100% of the amount to be pumped out. But that is just bureaucratic cosmetics if the red tape is taken a closer look at the water management on site. By the way, this was not the case for us. Don’t worry too much, three extraction points sounds sufficiently dimensioned. Let the two handle it and don’t panic dance over the floor – as an entrepreneur they are liable for their actions, not you.
