Slurry Walls

When site constraints do not permit cheaper and more traditional excavation methods, constructing slurry walls provides an alternative method of casting concrete in place below the surface elevation. Slurry walls, used for the construction of basement walls and other below grade foundation elements, do not require formwork and excavation side bracing.  Instead, a thin trench is dug into the site soils which exactly matches the thickness and depth of the new below grade wall.
