    Diaphragm Walls and Stractures 55

    Uploaded by

    jaga67
    This document discusses options for dewatering projects during excavation. It outlines factors to consider like hydrology, work geometry, and environment. Methods mentioned include cut-offs like walls, grouting, and pumping installations. Two solutions are provided for excavation in sandy soils: 1) using a short wall and pumping or 2) extending the wall downward, which increases head loss and could be replaced by a grouted cut-off.

    GROUND WATER LOWERING - CUT-OFFS

    2.3. Defining the Dewatering Project

    From the technical options available, the choice will be These choices must take into account the risks described
    made by reference to the following factors: in Paragraph 3 and be used to determine the require-
    - the hydrology, ments in terms of:
    - the geometry of the works, - possible cut-offs: walls, grouting,
    - the external environment, - pumping installation (wells, wellpoints, etc.) and
    - the contractual framework (e.g. maximum discharge monitoring devices (piezometers),
    rate). (Refer to the tables at end of Paragraph 4, indicating the
    scope of the different methods).

    2.4. Examples of approaches for deep, retained excavations

    We give below options that can be adopted to control ground water during bulk excavation in different ground
    conditions for deep retained excavations:
    - in sandy soils,
    - in rocky-like conditions,
    - in competent soil with a more permeable soil stratum at depth.

    2.4.1. Excavation in sandy soils

    Solution 1 Solution 2
    Short wall and pumping Extending the wall downwards

    This solution is possible: The deepening of the wall increases the head loss:
    - if the discharge rate is environmentally acceptable, Q2 < Q1
    - if the ground water can be effectively extracted
    (extremely difficult for silts and very fine sands), Note: this deepening of the wall can be replaced by a
    - if the external drawdown, Re, is permissible. grouted cut-off.
