Abstract

A case study of a large-scale geohydrological containment system for an industrial site is presented. An integrated geohydrological and geotechnical approach has been used to design the system. Extensive modelling of groundwater abstraction rates, lowering of the groundwater potentials and the resulting surface settlement has been performed. Input parameters have been estimated and verified by field tests. Evaluation of the actual performance of the system shows good agreement with the simulations. The phased design and installation approach in developing the system in combination with the modelling and evaluation steps allowed for optimization of the system which lead to lower discharges and cost savings.
