[0027] Example 1 like Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a foundation pit drainage system, including a drainage pipe 1, a dewatering well 2, and a sump pit 3.
[0028] Drainage pipe 1 is installed around the perimeter of foundation pit 0 to collect and transport groundwater around foundation pit 0. Optionally, drainage pipe 1 is arranged outside the capping beam of foundation pit 0.
[0029] Drainage pipe 1 is preferably made of PE or PVC pipe, which has advantages such as corrosion resistance, aging resistance, and long service life. The pipe sections are connected to form drainage pipe 1 through detachable connection methods such as flange connection.
[0030] The drain pipe 1 is equipped with a fixed connection port 11 and a temporary connection port 12. The fixed connection port 11 is a permanent connection interface, which adopts a flange connection or a heat fusion connection to ensure the reliability and sealing of the connection. The temporary connection port 12 is a detachable connection interface, which adopts a quick coupling or a threaded connection to facilitate flexible adjustment during construction and subsequent dismantling.
[0031] Multiple dewatering wells 2 are spaced out along the perimeter of foundation pit 0 to lower the groundwater level around the pit. The dewatering wells 2 are located on the outer side of the retaining structure of foundation pit 0. Depending on the actual site conditions and the impact of underground pipelines, the inner edge of the dewatering wells 2 can be laid approximately 1m along the outer edge of the retaining structure, with a spacing of 10m-20m. The actual location of the dewatering wells 2 can be adjusted appropriately based on the surrounding environment.
[0032] The borehole diameter of the precipitation well 2 is preferably between 400mm and 800mm, which can meet the precipitation requirements under different geological conditions.
[0033] like Figure 3 As shown, a groundwater pump 22 is installed in the groundwater well 2 to pump groundwater into the drainage pipe 1. The groundwater pump 22 is connected to the fixed connection port 11 of the drainage pipe 1 via a first connecting water pipe 21. The first connecting water pipe 21 is preferably made of flexible hose or steel pipe, which has good pressure resistance and durability.
[0034] like Figure 4As shown, a filter media layer 23 is installed inside the dewatering well 2 to filter silt and impurities in the groundwater and prevent pump blockage. The filter media layer 23 is preferably made of granular materials such as gravel and coarse sand, which have good permeability and filtration effect. A filter screen 24 is also installed inside the filter media layer 23 to further enhance the filtration effect. The filter screen 24 is preferably made of stainless steel mesh or nylon mesh, which is corrosion-resistant and not easily deformed. Each well can have one section of filter pipe and one section of sedimentation section 25 at the bottom.
[0035] A sump pit 3 is installed inside the foundation pit 0 to collect surface water and seepage water within the foundation pit. There are at least two sump pits 3, and each sump pit 3 is located at the lowest point of the foundation pit to ensure that accumulated water in the foundation pit can naturally collect into the sump pit 3.
[0036] like Figure 2 As shown, the sump 3 is connected to the temporary connection port 12 of the drain pipe 1 via a water pump and a second connecting water pipe 31. The second connecting water pipe 31 is preferably a flexible hose, which facilitates adjustment of the connection position according to the construction progress.
[0037] In an optional embodiment, this embodiment also includes a sedimentation tank 4, with a drain pipe 1 connected to the sedimentation tank 4.
[0038] Sedimentation tank 4 is used to treat pumped groundwater and surface water by sedimentation, removing silt and suspended solids to meet discharge standards before being discharged into municipal pipe networks or natural water bodies. Sedimentation tank 4 is preferably a three-stage, four-stage, or five-stage sedimentation tank for better sedimentation results.
[0039] The foundation pit drainage system in this embodiment achieves centralized discharge of groundwater around the foundation pit and surface water within the foundation pit by unifying the drainage from the dewatering well 2 and the sump pit 3 into the drainage pipe 1.
[0040] The use of modular drainage pipe 1 eliminates the need for on-site excavation of drainage ditches, significantly shortening the construction cycle and improving construction efficiency.
[0041] After the project is completed, the drainage pipe 1 can be disassembled, recycled and reused, avoiding the waste of materials and manpower caused by the backfilling of traditional drainage ditches, and has significant economic and environmental benefits.
[0042] Example 2 This embodiment provides a construction and installation method for a foundation pit drainage system, including the following steps: S1: Drainage pipe 1 is laid around the perimeter of the foundation pit 0.

[0043] Drainage pipe 1 is preferably made of PE or PVC pipe, and the pipe sections are connected into a ring or U-shaped pipeline by detachable connection methods such as flange connection.
[0044] A fixed connection port 11 and a temporary connection port 12 are reserved on the drainage pipe 1. The fixed connection port 11 is used to connect to the dewatering well 2, and the temporary connection port 12 is used to connect to the sump 3.
[0045] S2: Excavate dewatering wells 2 at intervals along the periphery of the foundation pit 0. The diameter of the dewatering wells 2 is 400mm to 800mm, and the depth is determined according to the groundwater level and dewatering requirements.
[0046] The filter media layer 23 is filled into the dewatering well 2 in sequence. The filter media layer 23 is preferably made of gravel and coarse sand in layers, with coarse gravel as the bottom layer and fine sand as the top layer.
[0047] A filter screen 24 is installed inside the filter media layer 23. The filter screen 24 is made of stainless steel mesh or nylon mesh to prevent the filter media from entering the water pump.
[0048] The rainwater pump 22 is installed in the rainwater well 2, and the rainwater pump 22 is connected to the fixed connection port 11 of the drainage pipe 1 through the first connecting water pipe 21.
[0049] S3: Excavate a water collection pit 3 at the lowest elevation point within the foundation pit. The number of water collection pits 3 shall be at least two, and the depth and size shall be determined based on the area of the foundation pit and the expected water catchment volume.
[0050] One end of the second connecting water pipe 31 is connected to the water pump in the sump 3, and the other end is connected to the temporary connection port 12 of the drain pipe 1. The second connecting water pipe 31 is preferably a flexible hose, which allows for flexible adjustment of the connection position according to the construction progress.
[0051] S4: Connect the outlet end of the drain pipe 1 to the sedimentation tank 4. The sedimentation tank 4 is preferably a three-stage sedimentation tank, a four-stage sedimentation tank, or a five-stage sedimentation tank.
[0052] The sedimentation tanks are connected at each stage by overflow weirs. After passing through each stage of sedimentation, silt and suspended solids settle down gradually, and the final discharged water meets the discharge standards. After purification in the five-stage sedimentation tanks, the water can be used for comprehensive purposes such as road cleaning and greening irrigation. Excess purified water is discharged into the municipal stormwater pipes.
[0053] S5: Regularly start the rainwater pump 22 to begin rainwater operation, and regularly check the operating status of the drainage pipe 1, connecting water pipe and sedimentation tank 4 to ensure that the drainage system is working properly.
[0054] During the construction of the foundation pit, the position of the sump pit 3 and the connection method of the second connecting water pipe 31 are adjusted in a timely manner according to the water accumulation in the foundation pit.
[0055] S6: After the foundation pit 0 is completed, stop the operation of the dewatering pump 22 and remove the second connecting water pipe 31 and the temporary connection port 12.
[0056] The drainage system was dismantled and recycled, including the drainage pipe 1, the dewatering pump 22 in the dewatering well 2, the first connecting water pipe 21, and other equipment. The sedimentation tank 4 was cleaned, and the dismantling of the drainage system was completed.
[0057] The dismantled drainage pipe 1 and related equipment can be reused in other projects, realizing the recycling of resources.
[0058] The construction and installation method of this embodiment is simple to operate, has a short construction period, and the drainage system can be disassembled and recycled, which significantly reduces project costs and improves construction efficiency.
