Water Management in Construction Sites: Prevention and Operational Continuity

In the construction sector, water can represent one of the main risk factors for delays, unforeseen costs, and operational problems.

Its presence can hinder the progress of work, negatively affect the quality of structures, and create hazardous situations for workers. Effective water management requires the use of reliable pumping systems, capable of adapting to different site conditions and environmental variables.

In this context, the rental of professional pumps (motor pumps, submersible pumps, or diaphragm pumps) proves to be a technically advantageous solution: it allows access to specific, high-performance equipment that is ready to use, without the burden of purchase and maintenance. Furthermore, renting allows for the selection of the most suitable technology based on the type of liquid to be handled, the required flow rate, and site logistics, thus ensuring timely interventions and greater operational continuity.

Flooding in excavations and rainwater management

During excavations, water from water tables or weather events can quickly flood the foundations, slowing down or blocking the progress of the work.

In these cases, it is recommended to use submersible pumps, designed to handle clear and murky water with high flow rates and easy installation.

Available for rent at Alayan, these pumps are ideal for continuous site drainage, thanks to their self-priming capability even in variable suction conditions.

On the other hand, for smaller spaces, the diesel motor pump is available, which offers operational autonomy, high resistance to wear and tear, and a high performance of up to 1800 l/min, making it perfect for large volumes of water and prolonged use.

If mud forms, the most suitable solution is the diaphragm pump, capable of sucking up highly charged liquids without the risk of damage. The diaphragm technology allows for dry running and efficient handling of particularly dirty water (up to 320 liters per minute).

Infiltration in the subsoil and tunnels

Infrastructure projects, such as tunnels or technical shafts, require specific pumping systems capable of operating in confined and deep environments.

Vertical submersible pumps represent a reliable solution thanks to their compact design, corrosion-protected motors, and resistance to debris. Equipped with corrosion protection and designed to handle liquids with suspended solids, they guarantee reliability even in continuous operation.

Environmental humidity and concrete drying

An often-overlooked aspect on construction sites is the impact of relative humidity on the drying of concrete and plaster. High humidity can compromise the setting of materials and lead to surface defects.

The impact of relative humidity on the drying of concrete and plaster is often underestimated.

The use of professional industrial dehumidifiers allows you to:

▶ stabilize the thermo-hygrometric environment;
▶ accelerate drying times;
▶ ensure the quality and durability of the finishes.

They are ideal for closed or poorly ventilated environments, during interior work or finishing phases.

Applications in residential environments: prevention and recovery after floods

Even in residential contexts, the uncontrolled presence of water causes inconvenience and health risks.

Flooded basements and technical rooms

Flooding in underground rooms, often due to heavy rain or system failures, requires immediate intervention.

A diesel diaphragm pump is perfect for muddy water or water containing solid particles. Thanks to the diaphragm principle, this machine guarantees:

▶ dry running without damage;
▶ constant performance even in extreme conditions;
▶ maximum reliability in difficult environments.

Mold and condensation in enclosed spaces

In poorly ventilated homes or in the presence of thermal bridges, humidity accumulates and causes mold, condensation, and respiratory problems.

Professional dehumidifiers can also be used in residential contexts to:

▶ Maintain relative humidity below 60%.
▶ Prevent the formation of mold and condensation.
▶ Protect furniture, walls, and the health of the occupants.

Recommended for bathrooms, kitchens, basements, or rooms without adequate ventilation.

Solutions for industrial and commercial environments

Alayan also offers rental solutions for needs related to warehouses, production plants, and technical spaces.

Safety in warehouses and production lines

Flooding in a warehouse or production area can damage products and equipment, leading to costly interruptions.

High-capacity pumps allow for:

▶ a quick response in an emergency, preventing damage to stored products or systems;
▶ easy transport and great robustness;
▶ the protection of assets and operational continuity.

Humidity and electronic devices

In sensitive environments, such as data centers, laboratories, and technical offices, excess humidity can damage electronic equipment and compromise system functionality.

Professional dehumidifiers can provide an excellent solution to:

▶ counteract excessive humidity levels in commercial environments;
▶ allow for digital humidity control;
▶ continuously monitor and treat the air, protecting hardware and improving environmental comfort.

Workplace safety

Water on industrial surfaces can lead to slip-and-fall accidents and interfere with the operation of machinery.

A valuable tool for dealing with these situations is the floor-level pump.

Fast-draining pumps, combined with high-performance dehumidifiers, are essential tools to:

▶ quickly remove water;
▶ maintain a dry and safe environment;
▶ ensure full operation even in critical conditions.
