Technical purpose The caisson-based gate described is employed as a component within a permeable reactive barrier (PRB) system for in-situ groundwater remediation. Its function is to direct contaminated groundwater through an impermeable funnel into the gate, where it is then treated by passing through reactive materials within the gate. The term 'caisson-based' refers to the installation process of the gate, which involves the use of the caisson method, a technique that allows for the construction of the gate in an underwater environment. |
