Geo-Con Building 11-Mile Slurry Wall for TVA's Coal Ash
A record-breaking 11-mile slurry wall in itself is unusual, but the relationship between contractor, engineer and owner is what makes the construction of the wall—at the Tennessee Valley Authority's Kingston fossil plant—even more unusual, says Brian Jasperse, president and CEO of Geo-Con, Pittsburgh.
“It's been a very interesting process,” Jasperse says. “It's a really good example of the engineer, contractor and owner trying to tweak the design. It's highly unusual, and as a result we're putting together a good product.”
