CASES TRONDHEIM HARBOUR, NORWAY <strong>STABILISATION</strong> OF CONTAMINATED SEDIMENTS DURING 2002-2004 Size: 11 000 m 3 of sediments Problem: Disposal of dredged sediments with low stability and containing PCB, PAH, TBT and heavy metals Solution: Construction of a confi ned disposal facility (CDF), dredging and placing of contaminated sediments in the CDF and binding of harmful substances by stabilisation Binder: Cement 80 kg/m 3 + fl y ash 40 kg/m 3 Machinery: ALLU PM Power Mix Laboratory tests Stabilisation testing focused on reuse of industrial by-products in addition to cement. Stabilisation tests using binders containing cement, cement+silica or cement+fl y ash were performed. Necessary axial compression strength was estimated to be 100 kPa and chosen binder mixture gave strength of 250 kPa. Also the leaching tests were done to evaluate the leaching of contaminants from the stabilised material. Stabilisation tests were executed in the Ramboll Finland’s R&D laboratory. 46 Mass stabilisation 2005
CASES Monitoring An extensive monitoring programme was performedDuring and after the project. According to the results no elevated concentrations of metals or organic contaminants were found outside the CDF. Samples taken of the stabilised sediment had approximately the same strength as reached at the laboratory and results showed that the mixing of the binder in the fi eld had been successful. Costs Estimated cost for stabilisation of >100 000 m 3 of contaminated sediments: about 18 €/m 3 for dredging and transportation, 19-25 €/m 3 for stabilisation and 6-13 €/m 3 for establishing the CDF. This gives a total of about 50 €/m 3 . Direct stabilisation in the CDF is more cost-effi cient. Stabilisation Mixing was done fi rst in a separate basin and after the initial hardening the material was excavated and transported to the nearby CDF. As the CDF was fi lled the dike became less permeable and the fl ow of water reduced. When the fl ow stopped the mixing could be done in the CDF. The confi ned disposal facility and dredging The CDF with storage capacity of 80 000 m 3 was constructed by creating a water permeable dike to enclose the necessary area. Dredging was done with an enclosed bucket dredger, which reduced the spill of contaminant material and the amount of surplus water. Mass stabilisation 2005 47
