Assuming well-drained
Outlet consists of filter placed next to the soil and drain fill placed next
to the conduit. One side is completed other side will be identical.
Embankment
Chimney
Filter/Drain
Outlet Works
Conduit
An embankment chimney filter/drain that encompasses the outlet works
conduit can serve to protect against the potential for cracking and
seepage along the conduit and the filter diaphragm is not needed where
chimney drains are used.

With Chimney
Filter
Dams
Two-stage:
Provides capacity to handle large flow
Negates effects of filter contamination
Relief Wells
Relief Wells
Relieve pore pressures and lower piezometric
surface within confined pervious foundation
strata
Reduce uplift and improve stability
Control exit gradients and reduce piping
potential
Maintenance required
Somewhat inefficient because of limited
capacity and may need to be closely spaced
