Company Profile
Groundwater Control Systems Inc., (GCS), is a service oriented company intent on supplying an efficient and cost effective method which will address the unique groundwater concerns of its clientele. GCS has been actively involved in major construction projects throughout Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia and the Northwest Territories since 1983.
With the technical expertise that we have developed, we have built a reputation for being capable of overcoming difficult situations and completing projects on time and on budget. Our commitment is based on a detailed examination and appraisal of your specific groundwater need. We provide a recommendation of the most efficient manner in which to address the need and also what alternatives may be possible to suit your time and budget constraints, at all times keeping safety in the forefront.
The design of a dewatering system is dictated by soil classification, stratification, permeability, penetrability, space limitations and site location. Terrain conditions dictate whether a temporary, (i.e. to temporarily lower the water table while work is in progress), or more permanent system is required, (i.e. environmental obligations and the prevention of contaminates leeching into the water table).
Our de-watering equipment is of the latest technology, and our experienced technicians are available to find the most efficient solution to your ground water problems.
We also offer services for the treatment of contaminated groundwater, including filter systems, air towers, and specialized hydrocarbon removal equipment. We have recently completed a very successful project in Ft. Smith, NWT, where contaminated soils were to be excavated from a 1,400 square meter area to a depth of 7-meters, the water table was at approximately 4-meters below the surface. The water table was lowered which then permitted excavation of the contaminated soils. The water was treated on site and discharged back into the town's sewer system and lagoon.
