Slurry Wall Installation in Iowa

Slurry walls are used on commercial and industrial sites where a simple sump pump won't hold. Landfill liners, chemical containment, cutoff walls below dams, and basement dewatering cutoffs all rely on a properly keyed slurry wall that ties into an impermeable layer below.

We excavate the trench under a bentonite slurry that holds the walls open, then backfill with a designed soil-bentonite mix that sets into a continuous barrier. The result is a wall with permeability orders of magnitude lower than the surrounding soil — water simply doesn't pass through.

This is specialized, equipment-heavy work, and it's exactly the kind of job our crew is built for. We've run slurry wall installation projects on commercial sites across Iowa — from Cedar Rapids to Dubuque County — and we bring the trenching capacity and the engineering discipline to key the wall correctly and place the mix without contamination.
