GeoPool, Division of Ellicott Dredge Enterprises, LLC

The GeoPool dewatering system consists of a series of rigid steel support frames that are linked together and secured using four heavy-duty safety cables with turnbuckle connections. The interior frame structure is then lined with high-tech filter fabric made of polypropylene. Our open concept system can be set up in a few days, and only requires one person to operate. Sediments are collected in the GeoPool and the effluent water filters through the fabric via natural settling and gravity. The dewatering system operator can direct the effluent to a sump using a trench 4’ to 5’ away from the base of the GeoPool, and the water can then be pumped back to its original water source or to water treatment equipment. Our dewatering system features patented Dump Doors that – like a weir – allow for rapid release of surface water that does not need to be filtered, which speeds up the dewatering process.
