Security in drainage and dewatering
The BRL SIKB 12000 covers work below the water table. Think of projects such as the construction of an underground parking garage, where temporary dewatering is needed to keep a construction site dry.
This assessment guideline describes requirements for the process, quality management system and certification. In doing so, it links all links in the drainage chain.
Using a checklist, you work towards risk management in a structured way and make risks transparent to all parties involved. In this way you reduce the chance of damage caused by temporary lowering of the groundwater level or well dewatering.
