Groundwater Lowering in Construction

This new edition of a popular reference covers the design, construction, and environmental management of groundwater control and dewatering works for construction projects. Written for practicing construction professionals—including engineers, geologists, and hydrogeologists—and postgraduate students, this book focuses on practical aspects and is well illustrated with case studies. This edition has been updated to reflect the considerable developments in environmental management practice and procedures, as well as groundwater control regulations. The book contains brand new chapters on permanent dewatering systems and groundwater cutoff walls, as well as heavily revised coverage of other dewatering systems, environmental impacts, and the design of groundwater lowering systems.
