What Is Super Mud and How Does It Work?

~:•:•;~
4.•..
Super Mud slurries act as a flocculent,
keeping more cuttings on the auger and
settling loose particles to the bottom of the
hole.
This self-cleaning property eliminates the need
for desanding equipment.
Super Mud is a highly concentrated synthetic
polyacrylamide polymer. Super Mud slurries
achieve their large molecular structures by
the linking of simple repeating units called
monomers.
When mixed with water, the water molecules
attach themselves to the polymer chain
forcing the polymer structure to swell and
stiffen. Viscosity increases due to the
entanglement and shear strength of the
hydrated polymer molecules.
(As demonstrated in the left diagram)
Super Mud polymer slurries are anionic in
nature; meaning they have a negative ionic
charge. Most soil particles have positive
charges on their outside corners. Within the
column of slurry, the negatively charged
polymer molecules encapsulate and bridge
between positively charged soil particles. The
clustered soil particles are larger and quickly
settle to the bottom of the excavation.

Settled Particles
Super Mud slurries create a very pliable, thin
membrane that controls fluid loss, yet it can
flex as tools are moved past the surface
providing lubrication for the drilling tools.
This provides a more intimate bond between
the poured concrete and the walls of the soil
formation.

The anionic polymer chains tend to satisfy the
positive charged edges of the soil particles,
forming a polymeric barrier against migration
of water into the matrix of soil being
excavated.
In sand
The polymer molecules form a matrix, binding
the sand particles together.

TeStlrlq Slurry PrOpertleS -There are four main properties that require testing during use:
This test is performed by dipping a piece of litmus paper (pH paper) into the slurry and comparing the color change to a chart. The
result is reported in a number from 1 to 14, 1 to 6 acidic, 7 is neutral, and 8 to 14 is alkaline; 1 is the most acidic, 14 the most alkaline.
Optimum Zone (pH 8 -10) /Problematic Acidic Conditions (pH below 7)
At this level, polymer molecules can fully hydrate and extend, creating more viscosity. The carbonate ion present in alkaline solutions
also buffers the slurry against calcium and magnesium contamination. Acidic soil and groundwater can be extremely detrimental to a
slurry and should be corrected by additions of a safe ph conditioner such as Water TreatT"' or soda ash (Na2C03). In extreme cases
potassium hydroxide may be used, however extreme caution should be taken; for further details contact PDSCo.

Marsh Funnel Viscosity
Viscosity is the measure of slurry thickness, polymer concentration and the slurry's ability to stabilize surrounding soils.
be performed both initially and at frequent intervals during use of the
slurry. The time in seconds for one quart of slurry to pass through the
funnel is reported as viscosity in seconds per volume. At standard
mixing rates, Super Mud slurries will yield a viscosity of 40+ seconds
per quart (0.95 liter).
Procedure
The test requires a Marsh Funnel and Viscosity Cup.
While holding a finger over the tip of the Marsh Funnel, fill the funnel by
pouring the slurry sample through the screen located in the top of the funnel.
The screen will filter out any particles that may clog the tip of the funnel. The
funnel should be filled to the bottom of the screen. Place the Viscosity Cup on
a level surface and while holding the funnel over the cup, remove your finger
allowing the fluid to flow into the cup. Using a stop watch or wrist watch, time
the number of seconds it takes to fill the cup to the top line marked 32 oz. (1
quart). MFV is reported in seconds per quart.
Density Test
This test determines the weight of the slurry and is performed with a
standard mud balance, also known as a mud scale or density scale.
Super Mud slurries, regardless of viscosity, have the same density as
water, specific gravity of one (8.3 Ibs/gal).
Procedure
Fill the reservoir of the mud balance with the slurry sample and replace the lid.
Wipe off any excess mud from the reservoir and place the balance on the
fulcrum or knife edge. Slide the weight along the balance arm while using the
level, located on the arm just behind the reservoir, to determine when the
balance is level. Once the balance is leveled, the result can be read and
reported in specific gravity, pounds per gallon, pounds per cubic foot, or
pounds per square inch.

Sand Content
This test measures the amount of sand suspended within the slurry and is performed with a standard sand content kit, the results are
reported as percent sand. Testing is normally performed at the completion of excavation and just prior placing concrete. When using
Super Mud slurries, the sand content will rarely test over 1.0% sand. Due to Super Mud's
flocculation ability, it drops sand very quickly; therefore, the slurry remains nearly sand free.
Procedure
This test requires the glass and content tube, the 200 mesh sieve with funnel, and the wash bottle.
Due to the binding effect the polymer has on the mesh sieve, the wash bottle should be filled with
water containing 10% regular household bleach.
Fill the glass and content tube with the slurry sample to the point marked MUD TO HERE. The fill
the tube with clean water to the point marked WATER TO HERE. While holding your finger over
the tip of the tube, shake the tube for several second mixing the water and slurry
sample.
Pour the diluted slurry sample on top of the sieve, invert the sieve and with the wash bottle
(containing clean water) wash the sand particles that were trapped in the screen back into the glass
sand contend tube. When all the sand particles have dropped to the bottom
of the tube, the result can be read and reported in percent sand.
Fluid Sampler
All tests can be performed with the assistance of the PDSCo Fluid Sampler.
The Fluid Sampler permits its user to sample at any depth of the excavation for
accurate analysis. The Fluid Sampler is 3.5 inch diameter and it is constructed of
schedule 40 PVC. It is equipped with double ball check valve allowing for fluid
extraction from desired depths and also features a threaded middle for easy cleaning
and storage.

The slurry binds the soil together making
excavating easy.
Unlike mineral slurries that leave seams of wall
cake between concrete and soil, Super Mud
slurries are instantly degraded upon contact with
concrete creating a direct bond between existing
soil and concrete providing greater friction
bearing capacity.
Clean concrete placement with minimum
concrete wastage.

Water Pretreatment
Most slurries are sensitive to various water characteristics that should be treated prior to initial mixing and controlled
during excavating for best slurry performance. Water conditions such as water hardness, acidity, and alkalinity occur in
city water, ground water, or can be caused by contamination from soil or cement.
The remedy is Water Treat, a pH conditioner from PDSCo. See page 10 of this brochure for additional information
regarding the usage of Water Treat. Water Treat or soda ash is recommended for pH buffering and softening of makeup
water and prevent contamination from calcium and magnesium ions.
A good estimate for correction of Super Mud slurry is 1 Ib Water Treat to 200 gallons freshwater (0.5 kg :800 liters) or 1 Ib
Water Treat to 100 gallons (0.5 kg :400 liters) of salt or brackish water. In certain cases of extreme acidic soil conditions,
we recommend the use of potassium hydroxide as a water conditioner. However, extra precautions should be taken if this
material is used, as it is corrosive in nature. Potassium hydroxide can cause skin irritation and severe burns. If you are
considering the use of potassium hydroxide please contact PDS for technical guidance and additional information.
Mixing
~:;
Super Mud and Super Mud Dry can be mixed in a variety of
different ways as shown in the pictures. Mixing is quick and
easy and does not require expensive mixing facilities nor
lengthy hydration times.
Surface Tank Mixing
Simply pour Super Mud through a venturi type mixer or pour slowly directly into
rapid, turbulent moving stream of water filling the tank.
For mixing Super Mud Dry, slowly sift the granular directly into a stream of running
water.
Surface tank mixing is recommended, especially on large scale projects, because
properties of the slurry are more easily controlled.
Avoid the use of shear mixers or centrifugal pump if at all possible as over
shearing will reduce viscosity.
Direct Mixing
Pour Super Mud slowly and directly into the stream of water allowing the stream of
Super Mud to enter the water at the most turbulent point.
If Super Mud Dry is used, add slowly to avoiding lumping and wastage.
The auger should then be slowly raised and lower in the slurry column to distribute
and homogenize the slurry; slow rotation can be used.
If a drilling bucket is in use, it shall be raised and lowered while rotating slowly.

E E
High rates of fluid loss can be
detrimental to the excavation.
Water Table
High rates of fluid loss can be detrimental to the excavation stability because migration of fluid
through the side walls of the excavation can reduce cohesion of the surrounding soil, equalize
pressure between the hole and the soil, increase potential for hydration of swellable clays and shales,
and cause sloughing or collapse of the hole.
Options:
• Increase the polymer dosage and viscosity of the slurry by adding Super Mud or Super Mud
Dry directly into the hole with water.
• Transfer premixed high viscosity polymer slurry to the hole from storage tank.
• Fluid loss control agents such as Aquasorb may be added to the existing slurry. (Use only
additives developed for compatibility with the fluid in use). See page 10 for additional
information on Aquasorb.
• Natural silts that have already been removed from the excavation can be added directly into
the top of the excavation or can be applied directly to the fluid loss zone by placing the
natural silt on the auger. The auger should be rotated so as to spin the material off against
the sidewalls of the excavation just above the loss zone. Granular Bentonite could also be
used in place of silt.
The slurry level should be maintained at least 6 feet (2 m) above the water table to balance hydrostatic pressure and to prevent
collapse of unstable formations. If the slurry drops below this level, the operation should be paused and the proper slurry level
reestablished by adding fresh water and polymer directly to the hole or by transferring premixed slurry from a holding tank to the hole.
Surface casing use is always recommended.

Preparing For Concrete Placement
Typical Cleanup
Upon reaching design depth, an initial cleaning of the bottom of the hole
shall be effected with a flat bottom bucket or suitable equipment.
Air-lift Cleanup
Compressed air is blown into the cleanup pipe via an air line into the
cleanup pipe 6" (15 cm) from bottom.
The compressed air travels upward through cleanup pipe, creating
lower pressure in the pipe than the slurry column in the borehole. As a
result, the slurry with the solids at the bottom of the borehole are
sucked into the pipe due to the difference in pressure and travel out of
the cleanup pipe together with the compressed air to the surface.

When near bottom and mid-point sand content and density reading are within specified range (or when the readings
stabilize and show no further change over a 30-minute interval in which the hole is completely static), the bottom of the
hole shall be cleaned and placement of rebar and concrete may proceed.
Slurry samples shall subsequently be taken intermittently from the midpoint of the hole and from within 2 feet or 0.6 meter
of the bottom to determine viscosity, sand content, pH and density.
Recycling
Care should be taken not to pump any slurry back to holding tanks that has become
contaminated from contact with the concrete. Contamination is very visible as it looks
very much like clabbered milk or oatmeal.
The last 3 feet (1 m) of slurry above the concrete interface shall be diverted to a waste
tank or pit.
The slurry collected in a holding tank should be tested for pH and viscosity, and,
adjusted by addition of Water Treat or Super Mud for reuse in the next excavation.

Upon completion of a job, any remaining Super Mud slurries can be broken down with a chemical oxidizer. The most
common oxidizer for this purpose is 5% Sodium Hypochlorite solution (household bleach); 3% Hydrogen Peroxide
(household use concentration) can also be used.
The Hypochlorite solution should be added to the Super Mud slurry at a rate of 1 gallon to each 100 barrel of slurry to be
treated. After the breaker is added, the entire system should be circulated to insure complete oxidation of all polymer
molecules.
When breakdown is complete, all that remains is acrylate molecules and water. This is often safely discharged into sewer
systems, percolated into the ground, or simply left to evaporate. Always check local regulations before disposal.

Quik Floc (Flocculent/Settling Agent)
Quik Floc is a selective mud flocculent in liquid form that aids in the settlement of solids. It is packaged in 5 gallon,
resealable plastic pails. Quik Floc reduces the time required for settlement by rapidly agglomerating silt and other micron
size particles that are suspended within the slurry and settles them to the bottom of the excavation allowing for easy
removal by cleanout bucket or airlift system. Flocculation time will vary depending upon concentration of suspended fines.
• It can be premixed with the Super Mud slurries or it can be mixed directly in the excavation prior to cleanout.
• Quik Floc is salt tolerant and meets the same rigorous environment standards as Super Mud.
• 1 to 2 quarts Quik Floc :4000 gallons of slurry to be cleaned (1 to 2 liters :15,000 liters).
• Quik Floc can also be used in flocculating water, without the presence of polymer or bentonite slurry.
Aquasorb (Fluid Loss Control Additive)
Aquasorb, water absorbent polymer, is a crosslinked, modified polyacrylamide which absorbs many hundreds of times its
own weight in water and swells to form a durable crystalline gel. These gel particles do not dissolve, but continue to swell
with time, making a seal in the pore spaces of the formation; thus, eliminating fluid loss. For maximum results, every
pound (0.45 kg) of Aquasorb should be prehydrated with three gallons (11.36 liters) of water about 10-15 minutes before
introducing to the excavation. Upon hydration, pour into the excavation allowing hydrated polymer to migrate into the loss
zone. Repeat as necessary. Generally, one pound (0.45 kg) of Aquasorb per foot (0.30 meter) of diameter of hole will
control moderate losses. For severe losses, this amount will require doubling to achieve complete seal.
Water Treat (pH Conditioner)
Water Treat is a pH conditioning and water-hardness reducing additive that is designed to enhance the performance of
the slurry. Water Treat is a white powder packaged in 50 pound, resealable plastic pails. When added to a slurry, Water
Treat increases the pH of the slurry and precipitates metallic ions, such as calcium and magnesium as insoluble
carbonates, making them neutral or non-contaminates. Water Treat is especially useful and necessary when acidic water
is used, acidic soil or groundwater is encountered, or when brackish or saltwater condition exists.
Before drilling operations are begun and prior to mixing of the slurry, the pH of the makeup water should be checked. On
the pH scale, 7 is the neutral point, below 7 is acidic, and above 7 is alkaline. Super Mud and Super Mud Dry, as well as
most other drilling fluids including bentonite, work best on the alkaline side. For use with Super Mud and Super Mud Dry,
we recommend maintaining a pH level between 8 to 10 in fresh water and a pH of 10 in saltwater.
Water Treat should be added to the makeup water prior to mixing of the other slurry materials.
Recommended Usage
Fresh water 1 Ib :200 gallons of water. '/2 kg :800 liters
Brackish/saltwater 1 Ib :100 gallons of water. '/z kg :400 liters
To mix, slowly sift Water Treat into the makeup water or slurry. pH of the slurry should be monitored throughout the
drilling operation and Water Treat should be added as necessary to maintain proper pH level and buffer against
contaminants. Water Treat can be added directly to the hole, in the slurry tank, or mud pit.

Project Overview
CalltraCtor Coastal Caisson Corporation
Location Universal Studios, Orlando, Florida
The Universal Studios, Florida theme park is located in Orlando, Florida. The project
consists of several separate structures housing various attractions associated with the film
making industry. In five of the facilities, the structures are supported on a total of 141 drilled
shafts, varying in diameter from 30 to 48 inches, and in depth from 15 to 28 feet. The shafts
were installed using the wet-hole construction method, with Super Mud used as the drill fluid
additive. The original project specifications required bentonite drill fluid to be used for drilled
shaft installation. This specification was changed to allow use of Super Mud after a
successful comparison load testing in tension of two similar drilled shafts. One shaft was
installed using bentonite, and one was installed using Super Mud. The accompanying load
test curves indicate a slight better performance of the drilled shaft installed with Super Mud.
