STATE OF THE ART OF SLURRY TRENCH WALL TECHNOLOGY

DER STAND DER SCHLITZWANDTECHNIK

The large area of application of slurry trench wall technology is described with reference to several large-scale construction sites (high-rise buildings, underground railways, nuclear reactors). Constant progress, particularly in drilling technology, in supporting liquids and in precast construction, has made possible a reduction in costs and rationalisation of the working method. Efforts are currently being made to allow the building of a whole construction pit to be undertaken by one contractor in order to attain maximum safety. The paper was presented at the meeting of the Austrian architectural and engineering association held in Vienna on 18th January 1972. /TRRL/
