Execution of Special Geotechnical Works - Vertical Drainage
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 15237 standard provides guidelines for the implementation of vertical drains in order to expedite the consolidation of soils. The standard outlines general principles and requirements pertaining to drain characteristics, installation techniques, monitoring, testing, recording, and the methods of preloading or loading.
The standard emphasizes the importance of ensuring drain characteristics meet the specified requirements. It provides instructions on the techniques and procedures for installing vertical drains effectively. The standard also highlights the significance of monitoring and testing during the execution of vertical drainage work.
Additionally, DIN EN 15237 addresses the importance of proper documentation and record-keeping throughout the process. It emphasizes the need for accurate recording of measurements and tests for future reference and analysis.
The standard aims to provide a comprehensive set of guidelines for the execution of special geotechnical works in vertical drainage. Adhering to these guidelines will improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the consolidation process for soils.
