5.0 out of 5 stars
Hang on it!,
By Ivan Jackson (Puerto Rico) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Construction Dewatering: New Methods and Applications (Wiley Series of Practical Construction Guides) (Hardcover)
Ihave been using this book for about five years without a single complain. The book has not only enough theory to deal with probably the 80 or perhaps 90 percent of the typical day-to-day dewaterning problems that we found in our industry, but it also teach you the ways to cope them. Its a down to earth, user friedly, easy to read book/manual that every Geotech guy should have. The section "PRACTICE", with chapters like "Choosing a Dewatering Method","Well Point Systems" and "Sumps, Drains, and Open Pumping" has helped me to make that right recommendations on several of my projects.
