STABILIZATION OF DIKES
This invention aims to provide a new method of dike or dam stabilization. The method according to the invention does not require heavy equipment that might damage the dike or dam even further. Furthermore, the method according to the invention does not pose a threat to the environment since it does not involve the use of environmentally detrimental chemicals. To this end the invention is directed to a process for the stabilization of a dike or dam, wherein a dike or dam is injected with a waterglass composition. In one embodiment of the invention the waterglass composition is injected by means of an injection lance that is inserted practically vertically into the dike until it reaches into the sand layer underneath the dike. During injection the injection lance may be moved upwards, so that a vertical column is formed. Upon careful positioning of the injection lance multiple vertical columns may be formed connectively next to each other so as to form a screen. The invention is further directed to a waterglass composition comprising an inorganic hardener, more particlularly a tras hardener that is very suitable to be used in the process according to the invention.
