Description

Y -- Chicagoland Underflow Plan, McCook Reservoir Grout Test Work consists of constructing a double-row test grout curtain at the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago (MWRDGC) Lawndale Avenue Solids Management Area (LASMA) site in Southwest Cook County, IL.

Two 200-foot sections of the curtain will be completed using separate drilling techniques with an optional 800-foot section to complete a third side of the curtain depending on the results. The grout holes shall be drilled at a 15-degree inclination from vertical to intercept the near vertical joint systems. The grout curtain shall extend from the dolomitic limestone bedrock surface, which is approximately 30 to 60 feet below ground surface to a maximum depth of 380 feet Chicago City Datum (CCD). Verification of performance will include permeability testing before and after grouting.
