Module 3 Groundwater Control for Construction

Dewatering strategies for excavations, shafts and tunnels.

Each module will make extensive use of the practical experience of the presenters together with case studies from around the world.

Appreciate the need for an effective groundwater control strategy for excavations and tunnels which may combine a partial or full physical cut-off with active pumping and which may need to target multiple aquifers.

The course is aimed at Hydrogeologists, Engineering Geologists and Construction Professionals and should be of interest to both graduates and chartered fellows looking to enhance their knowledge. The course would be relevant to contractors, consultants and regulators who require knowledge of groundwater control techniques.
