Method and device for conditioning wet or damp terrain, in particular mud pools

摘要

The method described calls for the slurry-like material, located in a natural or artifical basin, to be set in motion in situ in limited areas, one after the other, and for a solidifying agent to be introduced over a given depth and simultaneously mixed into the material, the solidifying agent being fed from a supply tank outside or inside the basin directly to the point of introduction. The installation described includes an excavator vehicle (30) fitted with a boom (35) on which is mounted at least one earth-working implement, such as one or more vertical rotary cutters (50a, b). The earth-working implement is connected by a hose line (20a, b) to a tanker vehicle (10) from which solidifying agent is fed into the rotary cutters which introduce it into the material (1) being treated. Solidification of the material (2) can thus be carried out relatively rapidly, allowing the excavator (30), which is a vehicle with a low ground pressure, to advance.
