a new concept for Bloomingdale: DC Water & Skanska describe ground freezing and how it will be used with the First Street Tunnel project
At last night's DC Water community meeting focusing upon the filtration cells at McMillan, some new info was shared, including Skanska's plan for using ground freezing trenches.

more info on meeting...they intend on digging 3x3 ft trenches block by block along the entire route of the redline above. For those that park in alley behind your home expect some disruption. I is also important that any one who is going to have a "Staging area" around there home to find out exactly what that means. A lot of us have experienced the bore drilling that occurred while they were doing soil sampling. These "Staging areas" are for drilling multiple holes in the same manner as the soil samples and it is going to take 2 months of this drilling to occur. If you have an area near your home that is going to have the "ground freezing" then you are in for a hell of a lot of disruption. This is particularly a problem to me because I work at home and they are going to be right at my home doing this. I have a problem with this and so does my employer
