More recently, these barriers (slurry walls, <br />cutoff walls, slurry trenches) have become valuable groundwater remediation tools <br />for containing underground wastes and for groundwater containment. <br /> <br />BacJs~IQR I <br /> <br />WHAT METHODS ARE USED IN SLURRY WALL <br />CONSTRUCTION? <br /> <br />Slurry wall construction starts with the "slurry excavation technique", which was <br />developed in Europe and has been used in the United States since the 1940s. The <br />slurry wall construction technique involves excavating a narrow trench that is kept <br />full of an engineered fluid or "slurry". The slurry exerts hydraulic pressure against <br />the trench walls and acts as shoring to prevent collapse. Slurry trench / slurry wall / <br />cutoff wall excavations can be performed in all types of soils, even below the <br /> <br />http://\vww.slurrvwal1.com is 11]rrV-\V~ 11 ~- tp, hnn In OV/rlpf~111t ~ c:n <br /> <br />1 1 11 I')nnr:.. <br />
