Pond Slope stabilization problem resolved at Nuclear Generating Station

A nuclear generating station with an 80-acre water storage pond was experiencing erosion problems beneath the pond liner. The treated water in the pond is needed to maintain the stability of the stations chillers. Due to the age and size of the pond and excess wave action created by winds, the pond slopes were destabilized and eroding; further, water had begun to penetrate through the hypalon liner to the ground below.

Midwest Industrial Supply, Inc. solved this problem using Soil-Sement®. First, a section of the liner was removed, as was contaminated soil. New soil treated with Soil-Sement® was added, graded into place and compacted to prevent future destabilization underneath the liner.  The liner was replaced and the pond slope stabilized. Soil-Sement® increases both the compressive strength and R-Value of treated soil.

Midwest Industrial Supply, Inc. can provide turn-key installation of Control Programs based on the unique requirements of each specific project. Our field technical service personnel are available for consultation and recommendations to determine the program best suited for each project’s requirements. Midwest Industrial Supply, Inc. can also provide a complete recordkeeping and reporting system as part of its service.
