Hi this will be my first post on the forum but i have to ask your help and advice on appopriate construction methods for canals and rockfill dams.
The second part of the question is describe methods of tempoaray works associated with both canals and rockfill dams.
I have used the example of pananma canal but cant find any construction methods. I could change the example to a better one but im unsure of another.
Regarding the rockfill dam what constrcution methods are there.

Natural erosion can be controlled (possibly even prevented altogether) with the use of a proper weep hole drain. Water pressure can be released without taking the valuable soil into the bay or canal further preventing erosion or sink holes. The Jet Filter flush mount system can be easily installed and maintained from the waterside of a new or existing seawall and retaining wall.

The purpose of weep holes is to relieve hydrostatic pressure from behind the wall. Properly maintained, the seawall should last a lifetime without major repairs. The patent pending Jet Filter relieves hydrostatic pressure on almost any wall design.

“The fix permits drainage without erosion (about 6 months now). I used to be able to see multiple areas where there was flow over the top of the wall (from rainfall accumulations behind the seawall). I have seen none since completing the Jet Filter installation”. (Sonny, Homeowner Gantt Lake, Alabama).

As a former marine contractor, creator and inventor David Gentry has been providing weep hole drains throughout the world to marine contractors, engineers and homeowners. The materials used in the manufacturing of the Jet Filter are UV protected, durable and consistent with the life of the seawall/bulkhead.

Many engineering aspects of the Panama Canal point out the concern for the protection of the environment and natural resources.

As the excavations were being carried out, an enormous amount of excess soil was produced. The French initially hauled the soil to an adjacent valley where the soil was dumped and allowed to build up. This itself caused many problems during the rainy season and was the cause behind many of the landslides

Job Description Establishing a detailed program specification through discussion with clients. Clarifying precisely what actions the program is intended to perform. Breaking down program specification into its simplest elements and translating this logic into a programming language. Devising possible solutions to predicted problems, evaluating other options. Working as part of a team, which may be established purely for a particular project, to write a specific section of the program. Combining all elements of the program design and testing it. Testing sample data-sets to check that output from the program works as intended. Reacting to problems and correcting the program as necessary. Installing the program and conducting final testing. Studying computer printouts during test runs. Evaluating the program's effectiveness. Increasing program operating efficiency and adapting to new requirements, as necessary. Conducting user acceptance testing to ensure the program can be used easily, quickly and accurately. Recreating steps taken by the user to locate sources of problems. Writing detailed documentation for the operation of the program by users and computer operators. Consulting manuals, periodicals and technical reports to learn new ways to develop programs and maintain existing skills and knowledge.

whoa there. Your problem is not school honey. Your problem is anxiety. everyone has things that need taking care of. You are not alone. But you're level of panic and fear is way out of proportion to how serious this is.
