under sluice / undersluice Explanation: Your term appears as "undersluice" in one of my glossaries, but I don't know the origin of the entry, so I searched both terms together and found this: Under sluice, desagüe o aliviadero de fondo, galería de evacuación http://www.sapiensman.com/ESDictionary/U/Technical_vocabular... It also appears here (as "under sluice"): http://tureng.com/de/spanisch-englisch/de desagüe http://mes.englishdictionaryonline.org/espanol.asp?palabra=d... http://www.bvsde.paho.org/bvsacd/cd27/vocabulario.pdf http://glosarios.servidor-alicante.com/energias-renovables_e... |

| Reference: Findings Reference information: From an Australian Word doc. Under floor drainage system Where the geotechnical investigations report identifies the need for under floor drainage, design of the under floor drainage system shall include drain layout partitioned to assist location of reservoir leakage. Partitioned under floor drains shall separately discharge to the dechlorination pit. Work as executed drawings shall record the location of partitions in the under floor drainage and identify the partition location and the underfloor drainage pipe connected to the respective partition. The scour is an outlet pipe or tunnel that runs through the bottom of the dam. It is usually large because of its uses. The scour can be used in an emergency, for example, when a dam is damaged and poses a threat of imminent collapse. It can be opened to let water out of the reservoir very quickly. The scour is also opened to flush sediment out of a reservoir when too much has collected behind the dam. The fast flowing water carries the sediment through the scour and downstream. Valves or gates are used to control the flow of water through the scour. http://britishdams.org/about_dams/scour.htm https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=scour pipe meaning&biw=136... Page 2 There are two 1066/900mm scour pipes with 900mm valves (1 sluice valve and 1 Larner Johnson) on each pipe discharging onto the floor of the tunnel at the base of the shaft. http://www.britishdams.org/2008conf/papers/Construction reme... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 16 hrs (2016-10-24 19:21:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- If you spot a serious problem at your dam, it’s often a good idea to lower the water level in the reservoir so that pressure on the embankment is reduced, and any leakage/seepage flows reduce or stop. Before doing this you must seek professional advice. The simplest and cheapest way to do this is to open the low level scour (or bottom outlet) valve, if your reservoir has one. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachm... |
