💧 Innovative Strategies to Control Unexpected Groundwater Inflows in Deep Excavations 🌍

Uncontrolled groundwater inflows can jeopardize the stability of underground works and lead to significant economic and environmental costs.

📘 The research made by Alejandro J. Ferrer Granell , Eduardo Cassiraga, and Jesus Carrera member of Groundwater Hydrology Group analyzes three real case studies in Valencia (Spain), proposing field tested remediation strategies such as in situ grouting, high permeability drainage layers, and the injection of expansive resins to seal leaks.

🔍 The study emphasizes the crucial role of prevention and continuous monitoring to anticipate failures, optimize dewatering systems, and minimize environmental impact.

💬 “Understanding the hydrogeological behavior of the ground allows for safer, more efficient, and more sustainable drainage designs,” highlight the authors.
