A new publication is available which presents the state of the art on the application of stabilisation/solidification (S/S) in the field.
S/S is a remedial technology that has attracted widespread use around the world. S/S employs readily available cement-based binders that can be formulated into a targeted ‘system’ that cements soil or waste into a hardened engineering material. The application of S/S results in the physical and chemical stabilisation of contaminated material over the long term, enabling disposal or re-use on- or off-site.
This "Manual of Practice" has been designed as a practical reference for regulators, site owners, engineering firms, and others involved in selecting, designing, bidding, and providing oversight for the remediation of sites using S/S. It provides guidance on applicable contaminants, site characteristics, project planning, equipment capabilities, production rates, performance specifications and the quality assurance of S/S treated materials.
The Manual in pdf form is 25.4 MB and contains 602 pages including 140 figures, 32 tables, 47 case studies, a list of over 200 completed remediations, links to 3 video clips, and over 100 references.
It is now posted on the USEPA CLU-IN website and can be viewed or downloaded free of charge at the link below.
