In-situ remediation of a chemical waste landfill with excessive chromium levels is being investigated as part of the Mixed Waste Landfill Integrated Demonstration. This paper is concerned with the design of advanced cementitious grouts for in-situ stabilization of chromium contaminated soil and in-situ installation of subsurface containment barriers. Grouts have been developed to improve the performance and cost effectiveness of remediation compared with conventional materials. In addition to restoration of chromium contaminated soils, the developed grouts have applications in other environmental operations where superior properties are required
