ABSTRACT:
A method of constructing an impermeable wall in the ground having no joints is disclosed. The method overcomes the problems of forming an impermeable joint between a series of individually dug slots. The improvement includes excavating at least one portion of trench in the ground at a width and depth required for the wall, replacing excavated material from the trench with bentonite-water slurry, and after completing the excavation, replacing a predetermined amount of the bentonite-water slurry with cement. The cement is mixed with the remaining bentonite-water slurry in the one portion of trench to produce an evenly mixed cement-bentonite-water slurry. After this slurry has gelled, the above steps are repeated on adjacent portions of trench, and the completed trench then allowed to harden and form a single impermeable wall.
