Dewatering and Groundwater Tapping

Summary

The subject offers a total review of these successive thematic spheres of action relating to dewatering and groundwater tapping.
Hydraulics of water inflow to mines, quarries, construction pits with the
focused on mining engineering, construction pits, quarries, deep mines and
tunnels dewatering. Dewatering from surface (overview of methods, well
interference, horizontal drainage, elektroosmosis). Underground dewatering
(vacuous and gravity wells, drop caissons, well points, dewatering of deep
mines) – propose of processes, methods of calculations. Active and passive
protection (hydraulics barriers, seal walls), projects of dewatering,
monitoring. Water well drilling, drilling units for drilling of water wells,
hyrogeological well construction filters. Drilling mud for purposes of
hydrogeological wells. Groundwater tapping. Vertical and horizontal tapping
equipment. Combined systems for groundwater tapping. Tapping equipment
construction, maintenance and repairs. Pumping equipment used in
hydrogeological exploration, types of pumps, function, construction. Formation
testers.
