Question
b) Dewatering is a term to describe the removal of groundwater or surface water from for example a construction site. In construction the water is pumped from wells or sumps to temporarily lower the groundwater levels, to allow excavation in dry and stable conditions below natural groundwater level. Discuss the following types of dewatering methods normally employed during construction of a building project: I. Open sumps and ditches
II. Well point systems
III. Deep well drainage

- The cross section at station 2+60 has a cut area of 9 ft² and a fill area of 4 ft² and the cross section at station 3+00 has a cut area of 7 ft² and a fill area of 8 ft². What is the volume (yd) of fill between these stations? Assume 10% swell. Round to the nearest hundredths. Response Feedback: V=L fill A 2+60 +A 3+00 54 Swell means the cut material expands, therefore less fill is needed. The swell amount is subtracted from the calculated fill volume.arrow_forwardDiscuss the importance of proper backfilling and compaction in excavation projects?arrow_forward1.

- You've been tasked with siting a new well in a confined aquifer that already has several operating wells. Drilling logs indicate that the aquifer is primarily sand and gravel with an average thickness of approximately 200 ft. You have specific capacity data from several drilling logs in the area (table 1), as well as data from a 48-hour single well pump test that was previously performed at well AG-1 several years ago (table 2). At the end of the single well test, simultaneous drawdown measurements were taken in several monitoring wells surrounding the pumping well (table 3). Estimate the transmissivity and storativity of the aquifer, along with a realistic range of uncertainty around those numbers.
