Perma-Soil-UK

on wet material

Below is a 1m by 1m excavation carried out with wet saturated material, as there was so much moisture present due to a burst water main we have to increase the amount of Perma-Soil used, however only two 25kg buckets of Perma-Soil were required to complete the application.

When we arrived on site we could see there was a major leak at this point.

As we began to excavate it was evident that the water had now totally saturated the area and surrounding material.

It doesn't come any worse than this! The water has totally filled the manhole.

The water is now drained from the excavation using a sump pump.

The excavated material is now placed onto a working sheet and has been mixed with Perma-Soil, notice how dry the material is. Perma-Soil has dried the material into usable backfill.

The repair has been completed and the first lift of material has been placed into the excavation and is compacted down.

The first lift has been successfully compacted and here we can see that the second lift has also been added and compacted.

After just one hour we got a clegg reading of 37 or a C.B.R. reading of 98.

This shows the job on completion.

The same job 4 years later.
