Permeability is one of the most important factors in the design of a slurry wall. Both laboratory and field tests indicate that the permeability of cement-bentonite slurry walls range from 1X10-6 cm/sec to 1X10-7 cm/sec. Compatibility with site conditions is also very important. Permeability tests should be run with the subject site’s groundwater or leachate.
