Spiral classifiers ... do not normally set up a turbulent stirring action in the classifying pool, but cross-pieces can be bolted to the spiral shoes to produce this. ... As settled sands emerge from the "V" end of the pool, they bring with them some trapped or "drag-out" slime which should properly have overflowed at the weir. Washing sprays are often used to return this material to the pool. [The] spiral classifier ... carries its sands upward on the rising side of the helix, so that sprays can be used at any point and there is a good channel for running their washed product straight down to the pool. 3, record 1, English, - spiral%20classifier

[...] Les particules décantées sont brassées par la partie de la spirale plongeant dans le pool de classification avec élimination des indésirables évacuées par le seuil de débordement; puis elles sont entraînées vers le haut en subissant un essorage jusqu'à la sortie supérieure. 6, record 1, French, - classificateur%20%C3%A0%20vis

La fondation est placée sur un lit de drainage granulaire qui se prolonge de 300mm au-delà des semelles. Le remblai poreux, qu'il s’agisse du sol excavé bien drainé ou de nouveau matériau, est amené jusqu'à 300mm(12 po) du niveau définitif du sol et la partie restante est remblayée au moyen d’un matériau moins perméable ou du sol excavé placé en pente pour faciliter le ruissellement. Le matériau de drainage poreux dirige l'eau de la nappe phréatique vers le sous-sol, prévenant ainsi la création d’une pression hydrostatique et les fuites d’eau consécutives dans les murs et dans les planchers du sous-sol. Un puisard, conforme aux exigences du code du bâtiment évacue l'eau par gravité ou par un moyen mécanique. 2, record 5, French, - lit%20de%20drainage

Landfill methods. There are three principal landfill methods of landfilling ... (1) Excavated cell method ... (2) Area method ... (3) Embankment method: An embankment method is used in situations where the site topography allows for the landfill to be ramped on a hill side or a steep side slope. This type of landfill has commonly been used in past years for design of landfills in ravines, coulees, or gullies with soil being obtained from the hill side or side slopes. 1, record 6, English, - embankment%20method

Two general methods of landfilling have evolved: the area method and the trench method. Some schools of thought also include a third, the slope, or ramp, method. In some operations, a slope or ramp is used in combination with the area or trench methods. ... In the ramp or slope method (a variation of the area and trench landfills) the solid wastes are dumped on the side of an existing slope. After spreading the material in thin layers on the slope, the bulldozing equipment compacts it. The cover material, usually obtained just ahead of the working face, is spread on the ramp and compacted. 4, record 6, English, - embankment%20method
