Webinar – CFEM Chapter on Groundwater Control

The new edition of the Canadian Foundation Engineering Manual, CFEM 5th Edition, presented at GeoSaskatoon 2023, includes a new chapter on groundwater control. The chapter provides information and guidance on groundwater control during excavation for construction projects. The subjects that are covered in the chapter include site investigation, basal failure due to a high piezometric level at depth for excavations in pervious and impervious materials, failure by piping (internal erosion), groundwater inflow estimation, methods of groundwater control including wells and pumping systems. Emphasis will be put on the most important aspects of the chapter and the new content. Other important source of information on the subject will also be mentioned. The webinar will be held on zoom. It will feature a 45-minute presentation by the four authors and a question period.

Date: June 11, 2024

Time: 1:00-2:00 PM EST
