Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9947756A1] In order to consolidate a water-containing layer of soil with limited liquid permeability, for example a clay- or peat-containing layer, at least one dewatering element is placed in the soil, which dewatering element comprises a trench or hole (1) which is filled with a material with good water permeability, such as sand, and in which trench or hole there is a pipe (3) which has an impermeable wall and is connected to a filter element. By means of a separate riser pipe (8; 8, 30), ground-water which has entered the pipe (3) via the filter (4) is raised to above ground level, this riser line (8; 8, 30) being situated at least partially in the said pipe (3). A non-return valve (6) is connected to the filter (4) on the pipe (3), and the said riser line (8; 8, 30) comprises a suction line which is connected to a suction source (10, 11) positioned above or in the vicinity of ground level.
