Soil Mix Remediation Project (SMiRT)
Development
Laboratory treatability study
•Development, construction and
validation of novel soil mixing
equipment capable of delivering both
wet and dry binder
•Quality assurance software system
which will monitor variables such as
binder pressure, injection quality and
rate, impact depth, penetration and
withdrawal rates will be designed and
implemented
•A range of conventional and novel
binders as well as additives will be
used
•Extensive laboratory study will be
performed to optimise the selection
of the materials
•A number of tests will be performed:
strength, density, leachability,
sorption and desorption and
compressibility
Field trials
•Trials on a selected site with variable ground
condition and contamination
•Permeable reactive barrier will be performed
•Hot spot treatment of contaminated ground as
well as improvement of soft soil will be carried
out
•Both wet and dry binder delivery will be
performed
Kentish Minerals
Field monitoring and testing
•Boreholes for groundwater
monitoring
•Coring of the hot-spot treatment and
ground improvement sections
•Treated blocks extruded for
inspection purposes
Field samples testing
•Site trial samples will be
tested for a range of properties
•Variation between wet and dry
binder, depth, different
installation techniques,
treatability study and field
performance will be
investigated
•Long term performance will be
assessed
Stakeholders meeting
•Brainstorming and infoexchange workshops will be
held and stakeholders issues
will be addressed
Dissemination of results
•Research and development
findings will be disseminated
with CLAI:RE and IPM-Net
