Deep soil Mixing Colloidal Grout Plant
AMIX Grout Plant (AGP) was used to eliminate multiple mixing systems, providing high outputs while maintaining a low carbon footprint.
Remedial Construction Services - Tesoro Refinery Martinez, California, U.S.A
Project Description:
RECON Services was tasked with providing a design solution that would enable the site to be ready for development, thus ensuring the potential migration of contaminants from the site was halted. A deep soil mixing method for in-situ remediation and encapsulation of contaminated soils was needed to render the polluted site suitable for the natural environments future use.
Project Scope:
To remediate a plume of underground contaminants inside of an active oil refinery, AMIX Systems was contracted to manufacture a high-shear colloidal grout mixing system that will feed grout for deep soil mixing. The project required a high-efficiency, high-output system while producing superior quality uniform mixes on a short time-line.
The Need:
The job had a fast mobilization date and required a high capacity slurry plant capable of accurately mixing three separate dry bulk components. AMIX Systems designed, manufactured and supplied the AGP Grout Plant within 4 months from start to completion.
AMIX AGP 100 Colloidal Grout System:
• High efficiency
• Fully automated
• Easy to maintain
• High quality control
• Easy to operate
• Self-cleaning
• Minimal waste
• Modular design
• Low carbon footprint
AMIX Systems was an outstanding partner in helping design and build a slurry plant that exceeded RECON’s service needs. The AGP-Colloidal Grout Mixer increased production with mixer capacity of 6 m3 (1,585 gallons) powered by two 8”X4” Colloidal Mill 112 kw (200hp) motors. The AGP gave RECON Services the ability to produce outputs ranging from 100 – 150 m3/hr (139 yd3 /hr).
