Dam Rehabilitation “TERRA-MIX System”
Period: July – October 2009
Contractor: Kamp Flood Protection
Client: Lower Austrian Provincial Government
Length: 4,800 running meters
Project Scope:
To rehabilitate the existing 60-year-old embankment in order to reduce or completely seal cracks, voids, and porosity. There were three possible methods for this: vibro-pressure compaction, vibro-ramming compaction, and impulse compaction.
Solution:
Compact the old dam using two passes, fill in the crater, and perform a third pass with low energy to compact the dam crest as well.
Result:
By compacting the material in stages, the porosity and permeability of the entire embankment area—all the way down to the underlying gravel—were reduced. The reduction in volume simultaneously increased the embankment’s bearing capacity and stability, thereby reducing the risk of erosion.
Система Impulse-Compaction
The IMPULSE COMPACTION system TERRA MIX is an innovative method of improving a building ground and impulse compaction of mediumly deep areas. All compactable grounds can hence be quickly and economically compacted. Compared to conventional methods used for building ground improvement such as vibration stuffing compaction, vibration pressure compaction, ground replacement, drilling stakes, ductile stakes, jet grounding or DYNIV(Dynamic Intensive Compaction) the IMPULSE COMPACTION system TERRA-MIX convinces with three essential advantages: BUILDING TIME SAVINGS, BUILDING COSTS SAVINGS, GENTLE ON RESSOURCES
