Construction Sequence • Preliminary preparations • Substructure survey • Slurry material • Mixing pond
Methods • Bentonite-Soil Slurry Mix: • Use on site soil • Laboratory mix design • Quality control • Installation Process: • Excavation: 20ft deep • Pump bentonite-soil slurry mix • Slurry prevents sidewall from caving in
Feasibility • Adequate Access • Large Staging Area • Groundwater Trenching • Environmental • Alligator Weed • Equipment Cleaning • Bentonite removal Typical Bentonite Slurry Wall Operation
