This section of the specifications includes requirements for the Slurry Trench Cutoff Wall and related work as indicated on the drawings and as hereinafter specified. The work consists of furnishing all plant, labor, equipment, materials and of performing all operations as required to construct the slurry trench cutoff wall. Slurry trench cutoff walls shall be plastic, cement-bentonite slurry, providing a continuous homogeneous, relatively impermeable barrier to groundwater seepage and approximating the strength of the in situ soil.
Strength and Permeability of a Deep Soil Bentonite Slurry Wall
In 2006, a Soil Bentonite (SB) slurry wall was constructed at a brownfield redevelopment of a former steel mill site in Mayfield, NSW Australia. At this site, the slurry wall is designed to block groundwater
