Simple solutions to challenging problems Making the difference on the most challenging ground engineering projects worldwide. Who we are OGI is celebrating 30 successful years in the construction industry offering award winning design and consultancy services. Making the process of groundwater management simple, efficient and stress free for clients and contractors working on challenging ground engineering projects.
Our primary works involves designing groundwater control dewatering systems for principal contractors. However, we are also involved in the stabilisation of weak saturated slopes, advanced computer modelling of groundwater and geotechnical problems, plus we liaise with the Environment Agency to acquire abstraction and discharge permits on behalf of the contractor.
OGI works for a range of organisations, including large international contractors, subcontractors, dewatering contractors, joint ventures, and utility companies. This blog article will cover some of the basics of dewatering in construction.

Services
OGI Groundwater Specialists Ltd is an independent, privately owned specialist engineering design, groundwater control and consultancy company predominately servicing the UK construction industry.
Founded in Oxford in 1989 by Dr Stephen Thomas, OGI s expertise is focussed on the design and supervision of groundwater control systems required to lower the water table and reduce artesian pore pressures for large complex underground structures when constructed below the water table.

The purpose of a dewatering system is to manage groundwater to enable excavation and construction to take place in safe conditions, without failure of the ground or failure of the structure being built. The process of lowering groundwater levels in the area of a construction site by water abstraction.
OGI offers combined geotechnical and groundwater control design solutions for temporary and permanents works. Our solutions are underpinned by mathematical modelling and have proven particularly cost effective where groundwater conditions threaten the safety or integrity of an excavation or structure, or where uncontrolled groundwater conditions could jeopardise the critical path of the construction programme.
Utilise OGI's team of expert computer modellers with access to industry leading groundwater and geotechnical modelling software. GEMSERV is available to engineers around the world who do not have the technical or software resources available to solve modelling problems quickly and reliably. The service is offered at competitive daily rates, with projects typically taking two to three days to deliver results and drawings.
OGI works for a range of organisations across a large number of construction industry sectors. We work for small contractors, large international contractors, joint ventures, and utility companies. OGI can design groundwater control systems to enable the construction of bridge foundations, or to prevent groundwater level change at nearby existing bridge foundations.
