ABSTRACT:
A subsurface barrier wall having a number of interconnected columns is disclosed. The columns are driven into the subsurface, one next to the other in interlocking fashion, with a percussive drive hammer. A sonic drilling tool is driven ahead of the columns. The columns include interconnecting elements which slidably couple adjacent columns together as a column is being driven into the subsurface. The barrier wall may be used to divert, contain, or remediate the migration of subsurface contaminants.
