Country: United Kingdom
|
Start Date:
1/10/2007
Duration: 36
months
Project Type: RTD
|
Contract Number:
|
Organisation Type:
University research group / research institute |
Topics:
Contaminated land-->Remediation options-->In situ treatment technologies
|
Project objectives:
The project aims to achieve significant technical advancement and cost-savings by developing an innovative single SMT system for integrated remediation and ground improvement, with simultaneous delivery of wet and dry additives, and with advanced quality assurance system. As a new technology SMT suffers from a lack of proven track record and associated stakeholder confidence. The project will hence use extensive field trials and laboratory testing to enhance the use and increase validation of SMT with full involvement of stakeholders

Project
Summary:
Soil mix technology (SMT) applied to the in-situ remediation of contaminated land is relatively new in the UK. It involves the use of mixing augers and additives to construct permeable reactive in-ground barriers and low-permeability containment walls, and for “hot-spot” soil treatment by stabilisation/solidification. SMT is a cost effective and versatile approach with numerous environmental advantages.
