Measuring the water level in the borehole to determine the underground water surface."A well-designed water surface can have a significant impact on the effectiveness of a dewatering system." This surface can help in dewatering simulation using MINE DW. #open-pit #mine-dw#underground#water

When selecting a horizontal directional drill, it’s important to look beyond basic capabilities to ensure it meets your specific project needs. Carefully evaluating factors such as soil conditions, bore specifications, and transportability can help boost the efficiency and success of your operations.

“A new analytical solution to study the mechanical coupling on tidal-induced head fluctuations in a coastal aquifer system is developed” The conceptual model consists of two overlying confined units that extend infinitely under the sea.  The proposed model assumes that the tidal fluctuations in the overlying aquifer are described by the classical equation derived by van der Kamp. For the underlying aquifer, a closed form analytical expression is derived by solving a boundary value problem that considers the loading effect produced by the overlying unit.  The amplitude and phase lag of the underlying aquifer depend on both the specific storage and the thickness of the overlying unit. A parametric study shows that the mechanical coupling effect can be important for both large values of specific storage and thickness of the overlying aquifer. Please see Cuello and Guarracino (2024) in Hydrological Processes, “Mechanical Coupling Effect on Tide-Induced Fluctuations in a Multilayer Aquifer System”

🏗️ Implementing Structural Controls in ESC 🏗️ Structural controls play a vital role in managing erosion and sediment. Key techniques include: • Silt Fences: Temporary barriers to trap sediment • Sediment Basins: Basins to settle and trap sediment • Check Dams: Small barriers to slow down water flow and reduce erosion These measures help control runoff and capture sediment, protecting downstream environments. cheryl@pembc.com.au (07) 3063 3282 www.pembc.com.au #StructuralControls #ErosionManagement #ConstructionSafety #CivilConstruction

The following study route has a very characteristic case where we have rich geological layers with underground water, these water-bearing layers have a fantastic probability of 96% and 11% dynamic of movement, which rarely happens in practice due to this hydrodynamic pressure underground water during in rainy months, they can come out as surface runoff.

Thermal Mapping 💧 Water leaks and moisture intrusion: Unchecked, these can cause mold or rot. ❄ Cold spots: Indicative of cracks/holes, leading to significant energy loss. 💦 Water puddles: Signs of subsurface structural integrity.
