Abstract
Vacuum Tube Well Dewatering (VTWD) is one of high efficiency methods to vacuum dewatering in Beijing district in recent years. Water output, surrounding drawdown, and land settlement of vacuum and normal tube well respectively were measured during the process of engineering dewatering at three sites in Beijing subway engineering. The results showed that the water output by VTWD was 1.6 to 2 times than that by Normal Tube Well Dewatering (NTWD) while the land settlement was twice compared to NTWD. It is suggested to consider the carrying capacity of surrounding environment when using VTWD.
