1Preventing Soil Erosion and Foundation Damage
with Dewatering Solutions
2INTRODUCTION
- Briefly introduce the topic of soil erosion and
its impact on foundations. - Highlight the importance of implementing
effective dewatering solutions to prevent erosion
and foundation damage. - State the main objectives of the presentation.
3UNDERSTANDING SOIL EROSION
- Define soil erosion and explain its causes
(rainfall, wind, construction activities, etc.) - .
- Illustrate the different types of soil erosion
sheet erosion, rill erosion, gully erosion. - Provide statistics or case studies showcasing the
extent of soil erosion and its consequences.
4IMPACTS ON FOUNDATIONS
- Discuss how soil erosion can negatively affect
building foundations. - Explain how shifting soil can lead to foundation
settling, cracks, and instability. - Include images or diagrams depicting foundation
damage due to soil erosion.
5BENEFITS OF DEWATERING
Outline the advantages of using dewatering
solutions
Improved workability of soil during construction.
Preservation of foundation integrity
Increased construction site safety.
Prevention of soil erosion
6TYPES OF DEWATERING SOLUTIONS
Deep wells
Sump Pumps
Wellpoint systems
A deep well is a borehole dug or drilled into the
ground to access water or other underground
resources from significant depths.
The deep well system forms a large number of
bored wells in the site area where the water is
excavated by submersible pumps.
A sump pump is a mechanical device used to remove
water from areas prone to flooding or excess
moisture buildup.
