Two deep shafts and three frozen earth cofferdams were constructed in highly organic silt deposits in the downtown area of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. A numeric thermal analysis was used to model the freezing time and proved to be a successful tool in predicting the advance and final thickness of a frozen wall.

Installed and maintained a ground freezing system around the perimeter of the 46-foot diameter shaft, extending approximately 300 feet into bedrock…
Read MoreFrozen Earth Cofferdam Design
Structures designed to transfer storm runoff water from surface collector systems to deep large diameter tunnels pass through a variety of subsurface soils in the Milwaukee, Wisconsin area. During construction, problems developed relative to the use of conventional earth support systems. Ground freezing was selected for temporary ground support and ground water control…
Read MoreInvestigative and remedial methods for a frozen shaft breach
Ground freezing was used for excavation support and groundwater control of a 13 m diameter 61 m deep drop shaft for the South Bay Ocean Outfall Tunnel in San Diego, CA. During the shaft excavation process, external piezometer readings indicated a sudden drop in groundwater levels…The use of investigative methods and remedial actions were able to overcome these adverse conditions resulting in a successful ground freezing project.
