Abstract:

Soft and bouncy marine mud was successfully converted into eco-friendly and inexpensive Cement-Stabilized Marine Mud (CSMM) for earthwork, and also Marine Mud Made Materials (MMMM) for blockwork in a public housing development project in Hong Kong. These green initiatives were the first of their kinds in Hong Kong and resulted in a saving of about HK$6M (SEK 6.6M or US$ 0.8M) in the project.
