This research investigates the feasibility of auger applied bioactive zones in the sub-surface for applications in waste containment and in-situ bioremediation. It is carried out using laboratory-scale investigations focusing on optimisation of the technology in terms of combined clogging and biodegradative potential. Both manually-prepared samples in trixial cells and auger mixed columns in a tank system were used. The results are assessed in terms of permeability reductions.
