  • Soil remediation, one discipline within the broader scope of environmental remediation, is the process of decontaminating soil. RECON is an industry leader in soil and sludge stabilization and solidification.
  • A secant wall is used in deep foundations in situations where the surface soil layers are unstable.
  • Among the processes used in soil remediation, excavation and dredging are among the most common. The process involves extracting unrecoverable contaminated soil.
  • Secant pile walls are one of the most economical methods of creating effective water control barriers for building structural walls, top-down tunnels and dams.
  • Deep Soil Mixing is a in-situ soil improvement technology used to construct cutoff or retaining walls and to treat contaminated soils.
  • This sludge pond is a good candidate for bio remediation or stabilization.
  • RECON's excavator is capable of digging a slurry wall up to 100 ft deep. Slurry walls have been used for decades to provide cost-effective, long-term solutions for many groundwater control problems.
  • Soil remediation project using remote placement conveyor.
  • Driving concrete pile to strengthen and support structural foundations.
  • Slurry wall construction is used to create non-structural barriers (Cutoff Walls, Slurry Trenches), which are constructed underground to impede groundwater flow.

Earthwork Construction

 

Movement of dirt on civil construction projects is used to construct dikes, dams, levees, detention ponds, reservoirs, relocation, consolidation, site balance, and slope stability. Compacted clay, HDPE liners, geotextiles, geocomposites, fills, soil, and vegetative covers can be incorporated into these structures.

Earthwork Construction

 

To protect a nearby town and the surrounding areas from seasonal high water from a 15-foot high earthen embankment, the US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) contracted to relocate parts of the existing levee, raise the top of the levee, add a flared toe, and install an impermeable slurry wall.

Project Features

 

• Installing a 14,000-foot long slurry wall along the middle of the levee to cutoff potential groundwater flow and seepage

 

• Excavating the trench to an average depth of 39 feet

 

• Complying with strict USACE slurry trench quality control measures.
