Certification

BRL SIKB 12000

The BRL SIKB 12000 covers work below groundwater level. When constructing an underground car park, for example, measures are needed to keep the construction site dry. Temporary dewatering techniques are often used for this purpose. This assessment guideline describes the requirements for the process, quality management system and certification under BRL-SIKB 12000, and links the various links in the drainage chain. The checklist is used to work towards the risks in a targeted and structured way and help clarify the risks for all parties. This reduces the risk of damage caused by a temporary lowering of the groundwater level or by well dewatering.

What are the benefits of BRL SIKB 12000 certification?

  • Gain authorisation to perform dewatering activities below the water table

  • Demonstrate that your organisation systematically prepares and executes dewatering work, ensuring quality.

  • Get recognised proof of compliance in accordance with the Wbb, Wtw, and Wm regulations

This guideline outlines the requirements for the process, quality management system, and certification of dewatering activities. By obtaining this certification, your organisation demonstrates that it prepares and carries out dewatering systematically, ensuring quality and minimising risks.

BRL SIKB 12000 certification allows you to perform dewatering activities below the groundwater level. It also shows that your organisation follows a structured approach, ensuring the quality of the dewatering process. Additionally, it provides a recognised proof of compliance with legislation such as the Wbb, Wtw, and Wm.

The BRL SIKB 12000 is divided into four protocols. Protocol 12010 covers preparing dewatering advice, while Protocol 12020 involves preparing a technical dewatering plan. Protocol 12030 is focused on the actual execution of dewatering activities, and Protocol 12040 deals with managing dewatering operations. These protocols ensure that the entire dewatering process is standardised and quality-assured.
