An installation for storing of natural gas or some other fluid comprises a lined underground storage space (10). Inside the rock wall (11) of the storage space there is a concrete layer (27) for supporting an inner impermeable lining layer (14). According to the invention, the concrete layer has a crack distribution control reinforcement layer (28) closer to the impermeable lining layer (14) than to the rock wall (11) in order to divide large cracks into smaller cracks and distribute the cracks over a larger area of the impermeable lining layer. Further, also according to the invention, there is between the impermeable lining layer (14) and the concrete layer (27) a non-binding sliding layer (29) to facilitate relative movements between the impermeable lining layer and the concrete layer. |

A system and method for efficiently and effectively removing water from mine areas is presented. In one embodiment, one or more directionally drilled dewatering wells are drilled into the geologic formation such that at least a portion of the dewatering well is positioned underneath the mine. In one embodiment, one or more of the dewatering wells may originate outside the perimeter of the mine so as not to interfere with mine operations. In one embodiment, a hydrogeologic assessment along with mine dewatering requirements may be used to generate a mine dewatering plan. In one embodiment, a hydrogeologic assessment along with a determination of the dewatering requirements of the mine and surrounding areas may be used to create a mine dewatering plan. In one embodiment, the mine dewatering plan provides design information pertaining to each dewatering well. |
