The rheological property results of slurry of bentonite-water slurries are shown in Figure 1, and the results indicated that slurries with 8% and 10% bentonite content could satisfy the desired rheological properties for SB backfills slurry wall constructions.

* A number of cleanup projects at the site have been completed over the years, including the disposal of dioxin, asbestos and some of the most contaminated material, demolishing 15 buildings, installing a slurry wall to prevent pollution from getting into the river and emptying two contaminated lagoons and filling them with clean material.

The towers are largely portrayed as technical feats: The elevator motor was part of an "innovative" elevation system, the slurry wall an engineering triumph.

The whole truth

Each pile forming the barrier wall was cast in three steps over an 11-to 12-day cycle: I) slurry wall excavation down to top of bedrock, with tremie concrete backfill; 2) directional drilling of pilot hole behind initial concrete layer; and, 3) pilot hole-guided drilling of cylindrical pile into the bedrock, tremie concrete backfill for full-depth, finished wall.

Among the project's additional challenges were: resisting earth and hydrostatic pressures from up to 70 feet of pre-9/11 excavations and the need to support the existing slurry wall.
