Overview

During excavation for buildings, infrastructure, runways, or waterways, encountering the groundwater table is a common challenge. This course provides systematic knowledge for both design and execution stages to effectively lower and manage groundwater levels.

Many projects require lowering the water table in excavation areas, trenches, and for soil stabilisation. Assessing the appropriate type and capacity of pumping systems, and ensuring their safe operation over the required period, presents significant challenges. To address these needs, the Institution of Civil Engineers and the Pakistan Engineering Council are offering this specialised training course free of charge, complete with credit points from both organisations.

Participants will receive the course materials upon registration, allowing sufficient time to review the content before the course begins.

Course content:

  • Introduction to dewatering
  • Open sumpwell pumping
  • Tubewell method
  • Wellpoint method
  • Eductor method
  • Deep turbine pumps method
  • On-site execution
  • Case studies

Programme:

  • Day 1: Course discourse and instruction
  • Day 2: Presentations from volunteering participants based on assignments given on Day 1, followed by discussions
