Part 2: Using In Situ Soil Mixing for PRBs or Barrier Walls

When remediation budgets are tight and regulatory pressure is high, choosing the right containment approach can make the difference between staying on schedule and facing costly delays. In this session, our technical specialists will share practical insights on using soil mixing for permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) and hydraulic barrier walls, especially in complex conditions like high groundwater flow or unstable soils. We’ll discuss where soil mixing can reduce costs and simplify execution, and where it may not be the right fit.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn directly from experts who have implemented these systems on real sites with budget, compliance, and timeline constraints.

What you’ll gain from attending:

• Cost-Saving Strategies Under Regulatory Pressure: Understand how in situ mixing helps control disposal, backfill, and transportation costs while supporting compliance with stringent cleanup requirements.
• When Soil Mixing Makes Sense and When It Doesn’t: Learn how to evaluate site conditions, contaminant profiles, and performance goals to determine applicability.
• Risk and Schedule Management Guidance: Hear best practices for mitigating construction risks, minimizing site disturbance, and accelerating delivery compared to excavation or slurry wall approaches.
• Real-World Case Examples: See how soil mixing has been used to install PRBs and barrier walls on challenging sites and what lessons were learned along the way.

Whether you’re evaluating alternatives or looking to reduce cost and performance uncertainty, you’ll leave with practical guidance for incorporating in situ soil mixing into your project designs.
