Deep Wall Emplacement Go Deeper with NASA's Deep Wall Emplacement Method for Installing PRBs. NASA seeks to license its Deep Wall Emplacement Method to private industry for use in remediation applications. This technology was developed as a superior method for installing permeable reactive barriers (PRBs) at depths of greater than 100 feet. Deep installation of PRBs using other emplacement techniques can require the removal of large quantities of contaminated soil. The offsite disposal of this soil can dramatically increase project costs. In contrast, NASA's new method displaces a minimal amount of contaminated soil, making it less expensive than other technologies. Benefits Commercial Applications •  Allows emplacement of reactive barriers at depths of 100 feet or greater • Lowers waste disposal costs by reducing the amount of spoils generated • Promotes increased permeability in soil around the barrier • Eliminates risks associated with open excavations NASA's Deep Wall Emplacement Method can be used to install iron barriers at a variety of sites contaminated by chlorinated compounds. These sites may include: •  Electronic Manufacturers •  Plating Facilities • Chemical Manufacturers • Dry Cleaners • Sanitary and Industrial Landfills • Automobile and Aircraft Maintenance Facilities • Semiconductor Manufacturers • Solvent Recycling Facilities
