Disposal process when using water for support

[Kiri Robbie]

What commonly is the disposal process when using water for support? I presume that the water will be sediment laden which has its own issues. We are unfortunate not to have a liquid waste licensed facility in our immediate area.

Please check with your client or local council. The environmental frameworks could be different for different councils but the general trend moves towards off-site disposal using disposal trucks (sucker trucks). Never attempt to discharge water from piling operations on site unless you have a site specific permit/ approval.
