1. Slurry wall

   A slurry wall is a technique used to build reinforced concrete walls in areas of soft earth close to open water or with a high ground water table. This technique is typically used to build diaphragm walls surrounding tunnels and open cuts, and to lay foundations. A trench is excavated to create a form for each wall, then filled with cement slurry; it is kept full of slurry at all times. The slurry prevents the trench from collapsing by providing outward pressure which balances the inward hydraulic forces and prevents water flow into the trench. Reinforcement is then lowered in and the trench is filled with concrete, which displaces the slurry. Slurry walls are typically constructed by starting with a set of guide walls, typically 1 metre deep and 0.5 metre thick. The guide walls are constructed on the ground surface to outline the desired slurry trench and guide excavation. Excavation is done using a special clamshell-shaped digger or a hydromill trench cutter. The excavator digs down to design depth, or bedrock, for the first cut. The excavator is then lifted and moved along the trench guide walls to continue the trench with successive cuts as needed. The trench is kept filled with slurry at all times to prevent collapse.
