[Enfouissement à faible profondeur]. Ce stockage est réalisé soit sur des aires aménagées, soit dans des tranchées bétonnées. [...] Les tranchées bétonnées sont réalisées en partant d'une fosse creusée dans le sol, dans laquelle est réalisé un radier. On élève des parois en béton le long de la fosse, constituant ainsi des cases dans lesquelles sont déposés les déchets après injection d'un coulis de ciment, on obtient un monolithe que l'on recouvre par une couche bitumineuse. Chaque case a comme dimensions 4,5 m X 4,5 m X 4 m. 1, record 1, French, - fosse%20creus%C3%A9e%20dans%20le%20sol
