The SMW-System Pisde Nene Mixing set-nardering slury insta wth native soll (SMW) is a cost-effective technique forthe construction of walls for groundwater control (cutoft walls), walls for excavation support (otaining walls) as well as for ground improvern For watls with shallow depths (ypically 8 t 15 m) the Bauer Sol Mixing Wall Method (SMW) has been developed. The sols loosened and immedtateiy mixed witha selthardening suspen sion by three adjacent sighty overap- ping augers and miving paddles. ‘By loosening, conveying and mixing of the sol, minimum ftion between rods and mixed col is ensured. Therefore, is possible to construct wals effectively rigs with medium power supply. [At the same time a very homogeneous sol-cement madura can be ensured in order io achieve a good quality of the ral Main advantages of the method are: + Small to medium size rigs ean be used + The in-situ sol is used as a com stucton materia! + Very tle generation of spol (im- portant factor in contaminated areas) ‘+ No vibeations induced during eon: stuction (SMW can be used in immeciate vicinity to buildings) “BAUER Maschinen GmbH. 2012 Construction sequence Step 1 Stop 2: Step 3: Step 4: Step 5: Excavation ofa guide trench fr collecting surplus slur (trench with corresponding to ciamater of mixing ‘ool, depth approx. 50.cm) and align mixing too with centreline of wall. iil mixing to! into the ground in a continuous oporation and concurrent inject sel-nardening slury.
