Apex anchoring rig drilling a tie-back ground anchor into a shored excavation wall on a UAE construction site

Apex International Construction & Land Dewatering L.L.C.

Dewatering companies in Dubai — and the ground engineering that goes with it

We keep groundwater out of excavations so foundations can be built dry — and we anchor, test and equip them too. 30 years on UAE sites, our own plant, our own workshops in Al Aweer and Ajman.

Plant & workshop

We own the plant, so a breakdown is our problem

Apex develops its own dewatering pumps under the Apex brand — piston, centrifugal and submersible — and runs workshops at Al Aweer in Dubai and in Ajman, both stocked with spares for pumps, engines and machinery.

A mobile repair team covers site breakdowns around the clock. Because our trading arm, Apex Emirates General Trading Co. L.L.C., holds the same equipment in stock, replacement parts do not wait on an import lead time.

Questions

Dewatering and ground engineering, answered

What services does Apex Group offer?

Apex Group provides land dewatering, tie-back ground anchoring, micropiling and static pile load testing as a specialist subcontractor, plus supply of hydraulic jacks, post-tension equipment, dewatering pumps, hoses and fittings through its trading division. All work is ground engineering for construction projects — we are a foundations subcontractor, not a general builder.

Which emirates does Apex Group work in?

Apex works across all seven emirates — Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain — from workshops in Al Aweer, Dubai and in Ajman. Completed projects include sites in Business Bay and Al Barsha in Dubai, Al Nahda and Al Majaz in Sharjah, Al Musherriff and Al Sawan in Ajman, and Fujairah.

Is Apex Group licensed and approved to work in the UAE?

Apex International Construction & Land Dewatering L.L.C. has held a UAE trade licence since 1995, with land dewatering added to the licence in July 2004. The company is an approved contractor with Dubai Municipality, the Roads & Transport Authority, DEWA, FEWA and Ajman Municipality, and has worked as dewatering subcontractor on 132 kV and 11 kV cable-laying and municipality drainage projects.

How deep can Apex dewater an excavation?

The method is chosen by depth. Wellpoint systems suit shallower excavations and can be run as double-sided, progressive or multistage installations to reach greater depths in stages. Deepwell systems handle deeper and larger excavations, with well depth set by ground permeability, the area to be dewatered and the drawdown required. Send us your borehole log and excavation levels and we will size the system.

How much does dewatering cost in Dubai?

Dewatering is priced per project, not per square metre. The cost is driven by the drawdown required, ground permeability, the area and depth of excavation, how long the system must run and the discharge route available. Send the excavation dimensions, formation level and a soil investigation report and we will return a method statement and a price.

Can Apex provide project references?

Yes. Completed dewatering projects include the Jumeirah Beach Club Resort, XL Tower and Conrad Hotel in Dubai, Ajman Pearl and the Marriott Beach Hotel in Ajman, and Al Fanar Tower in Fujairah. The dewatering prequalification document available in our catalogue lists methodology, plant and completed works in full.
