Guidelines for Controlling Seepage along Conduits through Embankments
The construction of conduits through embankments has long been recognized as creating an opportunity for seepage along the conduit surface. Possible consequences of uncontrolled seepage along the conduit are piping of soil material and subsequent embankment failure. This scenario has been identified as the primary cause of failure in many incidents. Therefore, it is critical in embankment design to provide adequate safeguards against this type of potential failure. The purpose of this document is to establish a policy to be used by the Bureau of Reclamation for controlling seepage and preventing piping along conduits constructed through embankments.
