A method of construction of composite wall module system in which a first wall module and a second wall module are coupled to the first wall module by a vertical joint. The vertical joint is comprised of plurality of anchors and reinforcement bars as well as steel side plates allowing composite wall steel faceplates to be discontinuous across the vertical joint. The faceplates of the first and second modules are not made continuous across the vertical joint through continuous welding. The vertical wall joint further includes fill disposed between faceplates and side plates adjacent to anchors and reinforcement bars.

Methods and systems for spatial change indicator analysis
Disclosed herein are exemplified methods and systems for evaluating a contaminant plume so as to generate presentations of temporal and spatial changes in the contaminant plume that facilitates readily identifiable interpretations of subtle, though significant, changes in concentrations or mass of the plume overtime. Exemplified presentations of the changes in the contaminant plume can facilitate more accurate assessment of plume behavior as well as the beneficial identification (in a more readily and systematic manner) of actionable events at the plume, including identification of new contaminant sourcing, identification of effective or ineffective applied remediation (e.g., monitor progress of Monitored Natural Attenuation (MNA)), and identification of changing site location, among others.
Disclosed are exemplified methods and systems that uses scientific and statistical basis to determine whether wells can be removed from a monitoring network and/or whether the frequency of well sampling can be reduced and/or whether the number of constituents being analyzed can be reduced. The exemplified method facilitates a more accurate and precise assessment of the sufficiency of the monitoring in decision making processes to modify the monitoring protocol of wells at a given contaminated site as well as to provide a defensible assessment and analysis that is empirical, graphical, and easy to understand.

Method and system for remediation system benefit analysis
A method for evaluating the benefit of a remediation system, the method comprising calculating plume stability characteristics, determining a mass indicator trend line; determining a contaminant removed trend line, graphically displaying the mass indicator trend line and the contaminant removed trend line, and determining a remediation system benefit trend based on a graphical relationship of the mass indicator trend line and the contaminant removed trend line shown on the graphical display. Also, a method for analyzing a remediation system, the method comprising determining a remediation system benefit trend, determining a relative cost trend, determining a cost/benefit indicator, and categorizing the remediation system according to the remediation system benefit trend, the relative cost trend, and the cost/benefit indicator.
