Design Mix Study Materials
 |
Slurry walls, grouting, and soil mixing all require critical components of material workability and site environment compatibility in their application. Geo-Solutions has the detailed understanding of the application of these techniques and possesses the technical and field expertise to develop laboratory evaluations of material workability and compatibility of various design mixes. The decision to select a particular technique often hinges on the cost and methods for applying materials. Geo-Solutions can assist owners and engineers in evaluating the amount, type, and compatibility of materials for a specific application, such as a soil-bentonite or soil-cement-bentonite backfill.
Design Mix Studies for Slurry Walls
Design mix studies are commonly completed in the application of slurry walls for containment of waste sites. Geo-Solutions has completed hundreds of these studies and we have developed industry-recognized testing methods to help predict long term performance of slurry wall materials. We usually work through independent, highly specialized, subcontract laboratories. In this way we can supervise making of the design mixes for slurry walls that are tested by fully independent laboratories. We are recognized for our expertise in this area and have published several technical articles on slurry walls.
In Situ Soil Mixing Design Mix Study
Treatability studies are often used in In Situ Soil Mixing to evaluate the success of various formulations in reducing leachate generation and treated material permeability. The staff of Geo-Solutions has completed nearly one hundred studies of this type. We know the limitations of the technology and its strengths. Workability is one of the keys to In Situ Soil Mixing and our years of field experience can be extremely valuable in finding a practical solution with design mixes.
Project Examples of Design Mix Studies
Recent Geo-Solutions projects involving design mixes include:
Design mix study to evaluate permeability and compatibility of soil-bentonite mixtures for containment of petroleum wastes in Michigan
Design mix study to evaluate low permeability materials for a deep soil mixing wall in Denver, Colorado
Treatability study for evaluating In Situ Soil Mixing with MGP wastes in New York
Treatability study for evaluating ZVI-clay treatment of TCE contaminated soils in North Carolina
Treatability study for evaluating coal tar contaminated soils in Pennsylvania
