Soil mixing, also known as Deep Soil Mixing, has been used in the US for more than 20 years. There are numerous variations in soil mixing tools, but all involve a pattern of blades and/or auger flights mounted on a shaft. As the tool is drilled into the ground, a liquid grout or other reagent is pumped out the bottom of the tool to assist in drilling and to be mixed into the soil. Columns of soil mixed soil can vary in diameter from 3 ft to as much as 10 ft (1-3 m), depending on the size of the tool.
Soil Mixing Projects
Projects where Deep Soil Mixing or soil mixing have been successfully applied include:
Foundation ground improvement
Retaining walls and buttresses
Groundwater containments for polluted groundwater
In situ treatment of contaminates
Site improvement for liquefaction concerns
The Benefits of Soil Mixing
The soil mixing method provides numerous technical and economic advantages over competing technologies. These include:
Formation of columns of known diameter
Ability to place a variety of liquid reagents including cement-based grouts but also more complex liquids designed to treat or contain hazardous wastes.
Complete mixing in a wide variety of soil types.
