We rented a submersible pump to remove most of the water from the cellars and the pit outside the cellar walls - about 30-40 cm of water in total was pumped out very quickly.
We then layered heavy gauge plastic sheeting around the entire perimeter of the cellar, temporarily securing it to thie top bearing plate. This plastic overlapped the sheets that came up from the base - a 'poor man's tanking' which will probably keep out most of the water, we hope. If not we will have to rent that pump again!
The site is ready for back-filling all of the excavations.
