The May/June issue of Deep Foundations Magazine by the DFI features a special look at Dewatering and Groundwater Control. One of the articles is by Gregory Landry, the Chief Dewatering Engineer at GeoPrac sponsor, Moretrench. I love the anecdote at the beginning of the article, that Moretrench defined dewatering as that aspect of the project that when left out produced the lowest bidder! These kinds of free resources are a great way to keep up to date on what’s going on in the industry without breaking the bank. [Source: Read Deep Foundations Magazine via DFI LinkedIn Page.
