GROUNDWATER CONTROL DURING CONSTRUCTION OF TAIPEI MRT

MAITRISE DE L'EAU SOUTERRAINE PENDANT LA CONSTRUCTION DU MRT A TAIPEI

The construction of the Taipei Rapid Transit System (TRTS) involves deep excavations in soft ground consisting of alternating layers of silty clay, fine sand, and silt. A thorough understanding of the groundwater conditions is required during the design and construction stages of the project. This paper describes the pumping history in the Taipei Basin, reviews the groundwater effect on construction, and presents various groundwater control schemes used in the TRTS construction.
