The successful performance of any dewatering system requires that it be properly installed. Principal installation features of various types of dewatering or groundwater control systems are presented in this course.

Topics:• Deep-well systems• Self-Jetting Wellpoint systems• Vacuum Wellpoint Systems• Jet-Eductor Wellpoint Systems• Vertical Sand Drains• Cutoffs• Cement and Chemical Grout Curtains• Mixing Tanks and Pump Equipment• Slurry Walls (cutoff trenches)• Steel Sheet Piling• Soil Freezing using Chilled Brine Solutions• Installation of Piezometers using the:

• Casing Method
• Rotary Method
• Hollow-stem Auger Method

Intended Audience: This course is intended for Geotechnical, Civil, Construction, Hydraulic, Structural, Foundations, and other engineers whose job description may require an intermediate knowledge of groundwater/soil dewatering methods and procedures.
