When used alone, a continuous Trenchmix\u00ae wall can be used for cut-off application. Once structurally reinforced, a Trenchmix\u00ae wall can form a retaining structure which can be used as support of excavation. When used as a network of parallel or secant trenches, Trenchmix\u00ae walls can be used for soil improvement applications.<\/p>\n The soil-cement mixture can achieve an average compressive strength of around 3 MPa and hydraulic permeability valuesbelow 10-6 cm\/s.<\/p>\n Wall thickness corresponds to the width of the blade used: between 350 mm and 500mm<\/p>\n Wall depth is governed by blade length.<\/p>\n<\/div> What are the advantages of this technique?<\/p><\/h2><\/div> Very good erosion resistance<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div> Excellent final hydraulic permeability.
