2015 – Mixed-in-Place cut-offwall, Hungary

 

Design and construction of a Mixed-in-Place cut-off wall for rehabilitation and upgrading of an existing dike at river Koeroes. The Koeroes is a river in the east of the Great Hungarian Plain which flows from Transylvania (western part of Romania) in western direction to Hungary and the river Tisza.

 

To avoid that the main mixing plant has to be relocated frequently due to the long pumping distances, a mobile intermediate pumping station was successfully used.
