Greeley Reservoir: Slurry Wall for Water Management Program

Project Summary

Slurry Cut Off Wall Installation at Greeley Reservoir

The Greeley Reservoir construction project consisted of the installation of a soil cement bentonite cutoff wall at a former gravel pit. As part of the water management program for the City of Greeley, Colorado, the future use of the gravel pit is to serve as a water storage reservoir. To eliminate the effects of water loss through high permeable sand and gravel zones, a slurry cutoff wall was installed from the surface elevation and keyed into the existing bedrock layer. The cutoff wall was 8,450 feet long, 3 feet wide, and had a maximum depth of 65 feet. The total square footage was 461,000 square feet. The trench was excavated with a Komatsu PC 1100LC equipped with Geo-Solutions extended stick attachment and slurry trenching bucket.

Geo-Solutions scope of work included:

• Provision of extended excavator stick and trenching buckets
• Provision of slurry batching equipment
• Construction Quality Control oversight
• Provision of Slurry Specialist
