Deep Soil Mixing<\/a> used a sustainable soil mixing solution to geotechnically improve the ground at an HS2<\/a> site near Coleshill in Warwickshire<\/h2>\n

Deep Soil Mixing was working for Land and Marine Engineering Ltd<\/a> (LME) who were contracted to HS2\u2019s enabling works contractor LM JV (Laing O’Rourke<\/a> and J. Murphy & Sons).<\/p>\n

The work was undertaken to allow access of construction equipment<\/a> and to stabilise the ground for the installation of a new gas main pipe which needed to be relocated as part of the HS2 works.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s soil mixing technique prevents both the removal of material off-site and the need for importing fill, which creates environmental benefits<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The technique involves analysing small samples of soil in a laboratory to determine what the soil needs to be combined with to make it suitable for re-use.<\/p>\n

The mixing process is then carried out on the site, removing the need to take soil away and replace with new material.<\/p>\n

Nearly 1,000 lorry movements were eliminated by using this method because there was no need to transport excavated material to landfill<\/a>, and no requirement for clean hardcore material to be brought on to the site.<\/p>\n

The project was completed in six months and included preliminary testing and site trials before work began on site.<\/p>\n

The testing was undertaken at the company\u2019s in-house laboratory and mixing tests carried out on various soil\/binder mixes as well as field trials to test the chosen binder in-situ, to ensure the right deep soil mixing solution was undertaken at the site.<\/p>\n

Sustainable environmental ambitions<\/h3>\n

Deep Soil Mixing Ltd director, Colin Critchlow, said: \u201cIt is fantastic to be part of the largest infrastructure project in the UK and we continued to work on this project throughout the first Covid-19 lockdown<\/a> which was a huge benefit to the company.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was exciting to get involved in HS2, to see the environmental ambitions and standards on site and play our part in contributing to these.<\/p>\n

“Our soil mixing technique is recycling on a massive scale, great for sustainability and great for the environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cPart of our R&D facility and plant depot is local to the Phase 2a route<\/a> in Stafford, so it is also great that HS2 is looking to local businesses and the local people they employ and sub-contract to get involved and benefit from the project.\u201d<\/p>\n
