Project Overview<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In December 2015, Bangladesh signed an agreement to build two nuclear power plants as part of an 11.6 billion euro investment to support the country\u2019s growing energy needs. The project focuses on the Ruppur Nuclear Power Plant (RNPP), situated approximately 160km northwest of Dhaka, the capital.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Ground Condition<\/h2>\n

The soil conditions at the Ruppur site consist mainly of silty sand, along with layers of loam and clay. These varying layers present challenges related to soil stability, especially considering the region\u2019s susceptibility to seismic activity.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Menard’s Ground Improvement Solution<\/h2>\n

To address concerns about soil liquefaction<\/a><\/strong>\u2014which could be triggered by seismic events\u2014and to enhance the deformation properties of the soil, Menard Bangladesh implemented Deep Soil Mixing (DSM)<\/strong>. The goal was to solidify and strengthen the soil to ensure the plant’s long-term stability.<\/p>\n

Deep Soil Mixing (DSM) technique will improve the strength properties of the soil by mixing it with the binder (cement slurry). As a result, a solidified mixture of soil and cement is created with considerably higher strength and mechanical parameters.<\/p>\n

For this project, 2-meter diameter Deep Soil Mixing (DSM) columns were installed using a single auger with a wet mixing method.<\/p>\n
