water seeping thru cut
water seeping thru cut
(OP)
I regarded a site that required around 3' feet cut. This is just a simple rectangular site about 200'x200'.
Water is seeping thru one side and client is asking other alternative to solve the issue.
Contractor suggested to about cut about 10' from that side and create a drainage.

If the area is to support a foundation, make sure the contractor does not put sumps within the proposed foundation area and pump from them. This will cause too much soil disturbance. Cutting a trench outside the excavated area and allowing water to drain into the trench then get pumped from there would likely be ok, but there are considerations that would need to be made such as the soil type, permeability, outfall capability and others.
