Introduction<\/h3>\n

Groundwater control for construction comprises techniques for abstracting groundwater from the ground, for the purpose of lowering the water table and\/ or reducing the piezometric head of an artesian stratum.\u00a0 Groundwater control is also called Construction Dewatering.<\/p>\n

Without Construction Dewatering, when excavation takes place through a soil, the ground becomes very soft, as a consequence of the high water-table.\u00a0 In addition, the excavation floods, causing construction difficulties.<\/p>\n

The image below demonstrates a clear challenge to the contractor who is required to construct a large structure to around 5m below ground level.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A method of construction dewatering is illustrated below, in which a simple wellpointing technique is installed.\u00a0 The image below presents the installation operation in process.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the wellpoints are installed, each wellpoint is connected together with a herder pipe, which is then attached to a vacuum pump.\u00a0 Once the vacuum pump is turned on, and vacuum applied to the wellpoints, groundwater then flows towards each wellpoint and is removed from the ground.\u00a0 This removal of groundwater then desaturates the ground and creates a significantly drier and firmer excavation formation, which enables safer and cleaner construction.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The groundwater that is abstracted from the ground, has passed through various filters before reaching the collection tank.\u00a0 As a result, this water is normally produced in a crystal-clear form, as shown in the image below.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The above presents a successful construction dewatering operation, with crystal clear water produced.\u00a0 However, this success was achieved as result of careful analysis, design & modelling.\u00a0 In the following sections, the various stages of design & modelling are presented, so that the reader will learn how to achieve a robust design of a groundwater control construction dewatering operation.<\/p>\n

Objectives<\/h3>\n

To provide the learner with practice knowledge in the field of Groundwater Engineering & Control, this short course will include receiving presentations of real case studies, designed & installed by the course presenter.<\/p>\n

The learner will also be provided with guidelines of how to design a groundwater control operation, including the techniques of construction dewatering.<\/p>\n

Unique to this course is that practical yet theoretically accurate software will be provided with the course for educational purposes only.\u00a0 This will enable the learner to apply new knowledge to prepared case study problems, and practice in their own time.<\/p>\n

This course does not<\/u> aim for the learner to become an expert, but it will result in the learner achieving a strong understanding of the processes of the design & modelling required for a groundwater engineering & control operation in practice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
