    Hi All! Does anyone have any smart methods for tapping a pipe into a sewage pond while it is live. The pipe would need to penetrate the poly liner. The pod needs to stay full while undertaking the task. Would need something like a coffer dam without damaging the liners. Any idea is a good...

    Polymers in subgrade

    Hi All, Currently looking at a project that involves rectifying some verges on a haul road which is sealed. I am looking at using a polymer in the mix to increase the strength of the existing subgrade to form the verges as a low cost solution. My question is has anyone done this before...

    Using a Pug mill to add moisture to Clay

    Hi everyone. All these ideas are helpfully and thank you for your responses. What i would really like to do is less work on the top of the bank and more on the floor. Something that your could dump 3-4m3 in and out comes proccessed workable optimum clay.

    Aggregate base for roadway, contractor states it needs to "cure"?

    Im assuming this is in the US? Do you guys look at treating the subgrade with lime or cement as an option?

    Using a Pug mill to add moisture to Clay

    its a mixture of a couple of things. We are pulling the clay from a borrow pit but there isnt a huge ammount of area for mixing. I saw the pug mill as a means of reducing the ammount of plant and labour. If i could chisel it out with an excavator and dump it in a pug mill which produces 300t...

    Using a Pug mill to add moisture to Clay

    Thanks everyone. Not sure if the reclaimer would be appropriate as we are bulking it out using a excavator. What i would like is something to dump the clay into. We are allowing the moisture to move into it, but mixing it using the excavator is slow and still leaving quite large clumps which...

    Using a Pug mill to add moisture to Clay

    Thank you for your reply! Clay is broken out into all sorts of sized lumps. Excavator mixing is slow and still requires grader to mix it in a confined area. WHat i would like is for it to come out workable like a pavement material to allow the grader to just grade and move out of the way...

    Using a Pug mill to add moisture to Clay

    Hi all! Currently considering unsing a pug mill to mix moisture into clay which is then used to form dam embankments. Has anyone done anything similar? Common practice here is to mix it using an Excavator. Please pass on your thoughts. Thank you!
