GEOTECHNICAL CONDITIONS FOR THE FOUNDATION OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT FACILITIES IN V. OBARSKA SETTLEMENT NEAR BIJELJINA

Wastewater treatment plant is an integral part of the sewerage systemof the town of Bijeljina and it islocated at the distance of 10 kilometers.Given the factthat it comprises several objects of differentsignificance, it was necessary to select a suitable location to set up all facilities required. The site islocated immediately next to the MPC – Majevicaperipheral channel that collects water fromsurrounding areas and drains into the River Sava.By the construction of a mentioned plant, purifiedwater would flow through the channel to the River Sava.The wastewater treatment plant is accompanied by several objects of different importance, both indimension and depth of foundations. Detailed geological surveys defined geological composition andgeomechanical properties that are the basis for defining the requirements for foundation. Particularimportance was given to facilities that require deeper foundations while smaller objects can be based ina layer of the embankment, which will be set up to a certain elevation to establish new alignment field
