Abstract
New in-situ soft soil improvement techniques recently developed and applied by Belgian-based DEME Group companies Dredging International, Hydro Soil Services and Silt NG have provided new building options on sites - such as former sludge-depots - which in the past have proved very difficult to access. Results from this work are set to transform the economics of projects which would otherwise require the removal of soft sediments before construction can commence.
