Abstract
A barrier of sheet metal elements in pile-driven into the ground in the path of contaminated groundwater. The barrier serves to funnel the contaminated water into an aperture in the barrier, in which is located a receptacle. A caisson is driven into the ground at the aperture, and the soil etc. removed from inside. A receptacle is lowered into the empty caisson, and a seal is provided whereby, when the caisson is removed the receptacle is sealed to the barrier. Baskets containing treatment material may be lowered into and hoisted out from the receptacle. Rubber seals seal the basket to the receptacle.
