Engineered Dewatering Containers with Filter Baskets

At SCS Manufacturing Inc., we design and build dewatering containers equipped with removable filter basket assemblies – ideal for separating solids from slurry, sludge, or sediment-heavy water on construction and industrial sites. These containers are a clean, efficient, and environmentally responsible way to manage waste while meeting regulatory discharge standards.

Efficient Dewatering for a Range of Applications

Our dewatering containers are widely used for:

Water and slurry are pumped into the container, where filter baskets allow water to drain out while retaining solids and debris. Once full, baskets can be easily removed for disposal, eliminating the need to handle loose sediment and reducing cleanup time.

The Flow of Innovation

Custom Designs for Your Operational Needs

SCS dewatering containers are fully customizable in size, material, and filtration configuration. Whether you need high-volume sludge handling or finer filtration for sensitive environments, we can build a container that suits your operation. Options include:

  • Removable, reusable filter basket assemblies
  • Integrated drainage ports and baffles
  • Sealed or open-top configurations
  • Structural Steel construction
  • Optional tarps, lids, or lifting frames
  • Roll-off, fork pockets, lifting lugs, and stacking features

Durability Built In

Each unit is fabricated in-house from structural-grade steel, welded by CWB certified tradespeople, and finished with industrial-grade coatings to withstand the toughest worksite conditions. Our filter baskets are designed for repeated use and easy maintenance, helping you cut down on disposal costs and labor time.

Dewatering Bags: An Effective Add-On for Enhanced Sediment Control

SCS dewatering bags are designed as a simple, effective solution to enhance your sediment control strategy.

Dewatering Bags

Efficient Sediment Control for Pumped Water Discharge

SCS Dewatering Bags are a simple, effective solution for removing sediment from pumped water on construction, industrial, and environmental job sites. Designed for use with standard discharge hoses, our geotextile bags filter silt, sediment, and debris while allowing clean water to pass through.

Constructed from high-strength, nonwoven geotextile fabric, SCS Dewatering Bags are durable, tear-resistant, and built to perform in harsh site conditions. They are available in multiple sizes to accommodate various flow rates and volumes, and can be customized to fit your specific project needs.

Dewatering Bags Key Features:

Controls sediment runoff during dewatering operations

Easy to set up and use with standard discharge hoses

Made from rugged, high-flow nonwoven geotextile fabric

Available in standard and custom sizes

Compliant with environmental and stormwater regulations

SCS Dewatering Bags are an essential part of any erosion and sediment control plan – providing reliable performance while helping you stay compliant and environmentally responsible.
