Proceedings of REMR Workshop on Research Priorities for Drainage System and Relief Well Problems. Repair, Evaluation, Maintenance, and Rehabilitation Research Program
Abstract
At a Corps of Engineers workshop on 16-17 April 1985, research needs for restoration of drainage systems and relief wells for earth and earth supported structures were discussed and prioritized. Proceedings of the workshop are summarized. The primary purpose of the workshop was to identify problems and obtain field input to the direction of future research. The presentations and resulting discussions produced the following proposed research areas in descending order of priority: Drainage systems: 1) Evaluation and rehabilitation of deep horizontal and vertical drains; 2) Geotextile guidance for drains; 3) New products information and technology transfer; and 4) Evaluation of subsurface problems. Relief wells: 1) Maintenance procedures and use of chemicals; 2) Inspection and evaluation methods; 3) Other more specific items -- a) Iron bacteria; b) Check and flap valves; c) Wood stave replacements; d) small flow meters; e) Exploration techniques; and f) Vandalism. Keywords: Repair evaluation maintenance and rehabilitation.
