But when dispersed, as in free flow conditions, the electrical bond breaks into particles having negative charge on surface and positive charge in the edges. Beforehand the drilling holes were supported by casing and thus encompassing a major share of budget in drilling works.
From there onwards practical and technical knowledge were established about application in foundation drilling. With the enhancement in understanding of slurry material properties as well as numerous failure of drilling projects, lot of adjustments were made to their physical properties and recycling process. Near the location of the pile bore a temporary bentonite pit of suitable size is excavated and a vertical pump is fitted in it.
A bentonite feed tank is provided near the pit for the storage of fresh and recovered slurry of bentonite. This barrier will guide and direct the mixture of bentonite and mud coming out from the bore during piling operation towards the bentonite pit. The vertical pump in the bentonite pit would pump the slurry of mud and bentonite to the recovery tank for necessary desilting when required. It is recommended that the position of tanks must be such that it can cater minimum four pile foundation locations on either side.
The hole must be augered through the sands and gravels without support, and then the casing is lowered down. The hose of pump installed on the bentonite storage tank, is connected to the top of drilling pipe transferring fresh bentonite slurry to the borehole. You might have offered additional information about the desander explaining its function in the process. I am an English teacher, working with a book published by Cambridge: English for Engineers.
In the chapter we are studying, a reference was made to the use of bentonite when boring holes for piles. Was curious to know a little bit more about bentonite and it brought me to your blog.
Since I teach online, will most likely refer to this article to bring additional information about the use of bentonite in construction. Close Stop. Skip to content. Table of Contents.

Then it is poured during the drilling of a pile hole to stabilize the soil and prevent the soil from collapse. Bentonite is used where the soil is weak and it is expected to collapse during the drilling of piles or other types of excavations.
The bentonite will provide sufficient time to lower the steel reinforcement and cast the concrete while the soil is stable. The mixing of water with bentonite will produce gell products when left to stand for sometimes. This product will return quickly to the liquid state when it is in motion. Bentonite mixture should be tested for viscosity, sand content, ph, and density.
The test results should be within the permissible values as per the project specifications. The density of bentonite can significantly affect bentonite performance.
