Soil Mixing Equipment
Soil mixing equipment is used to create stabilized columns which, when joined together, can serve as barriers to groundwater flow, foundation support elements, fixation of hazardous wastes underground and numerous other purposes. The principals of Geo-Solutions have been involved in the development of soil mixing equipment since the first significant US projects, carried out in the mid 1980’s

Special Soil Mixing Attachments. These specialized bits are drilled into the ground as a liquid grout is pumped in to assist with the drilling process. As the bit is withdrawn, it continues to spin, mixing the soil and reagent into a homogeneous mass. The diameters of the columns formed can vary from 3-10 ft (1-3 m) |
| Soil Mixing Rig. Recently, soil mixing has been done more and more by purpose-built machinery such as the rig seen here. On this site in Nyack NY, coal tar wastes from a former Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) Site were treated by turning the entire site into a stabilized treated block of soil. |

Soil Mixing Equipment for Treating Contaminated Soils.
Soil Mixing Equipment for Treating Contaminated Soils:
On this site near Vint Hill, VA in situ chemical reduction (ISCR) was installed with Geo-Solutions equipment. Proprietary chemical and biological treatments eventually rendered the soils non-toxic.

| Geo-Solutions Special Purpose Rig. On this site in Crescent Ridge IL, approximately 20 wind turbine generator foundations had their soft foundations stiffened up using soil mixing. Again the special purpose rig was used. This rig has benefits over traditional crane-mounted units in that down pressure can be applied and they are much easier to mobilize and set up. |

BOSS Mixing Attachment .
This backhoe mounted tool rotates and cuts soil while injecting grout or dry reagents. This easily mounted tool has a number of applications such as waste treatment, soil improvement, and stabilization. Treatment depths up to 20 ft are possible.

When combined with Geo-Solutions’ accurate and productive mixing plants, the soil mixing rigs shown here can create very accurate and homogeneous blended columns of soil underground.
