Selected Techniques:<\/span> Treatment Area: Project Depth:<\/span> The Upper Pond Dam Remediation project was completed for VALE Nickel Mines in Sudbury, Ontario. The project consisted of the installation <\/span>of Stone Columns<\/a> with Wick Drains<\/a> at intermediate points between the <\/span>Stone Columns. The solution was designed to increase the soil strength <\/span>behind the South Dam so that a large buttress could be installed.<\/span><\/p>\n In consideration of the poor existing ground conditions encountered at <\/span>the site, it was required to carry out ground improvement in order to <\/span>allow for the installation of the toe berm to increase the factor of safety <\/span>of the dam and prevent potential failures.<\/span><\/p>\n
