    DEWATERING TYPES

    1. Sump Pumping
    ➢ In this methods of dewatering water is disposed by adjusting the pump
    of the trench,This method is used for shallow bases in waterlogged
    areas. In this way ditches are dug on both sides of the trench. The
    ditches size is usually 20 cm in diameter of a semicircle.

    2. Deep well construction


    ➢ This methods of dewatering is more suitable when digging operation
    (digging trench) is lower than water table or artesian water present in
    soil. This method is useful when the groundwater level needs to be
    lowered further

    3. Well Point System of Dewatering


    ➢ In this methods of dewatering the groundwater flow is diverted into deep
    well-points in the ground and the part to be excavated is kept free from
    ground water.
    ➢ Well points are prepared at a distance of about 1m around the area to
    be excavated

    4. Freezing Process
    ➢ This process is suitable for excavations in water-logged soils like sand,
    gravel, and silts. It is advantageously used for deep excavations such as
    for bridges, etc. Especially, when the excavation is to be made adjacent
    to an existing structure or near some waterways.
    ➢ This types of dewatering method consist of forming a wall of
    ice by freezing the soil around the area to be excavated.
    Freezing pipes encasing smaller diameter inner pipes are Sunk
    about the one-meter center to center along the periphery of
    the area to be excavated. The layout of the pipes should
    preferably be such that the area enclosed is circular in plan

    5. Electro-Osmosis Method
    Electros Osmosis Method of drainage is used for line-grained cohesive
    soils (such as clays) which can be drained or stabilized using electric
    current.
    6. Vibro Floatation
    ➢ Vibro flotation is a technique in which granular soil is vibrated,
    extra granular soil is added and the density of soil is increased.

    7. Chemical Process
    In this dewatering method chemicals in the liquid form can be pumped into and
    through very small openings, which other grout cannot penetrate. The chemicals
    form a barrier to the flow of water through a formation by changing from a liquid
    to a gel at a predetermined time after it enters the formation.

    8. French Drain
    A French drain is a simple yet effective drainage system designed to collect
    and redirect excess groundwater
