Abstract:
An apparatus intended for incorporation as a module within ground improvement pokers such as those already patented (U.S. Pat. No. 6,554,543 and U.S. Pat. No. 8,419,316) in order to enhance the field performance of those hydrodynamic compactors by either improving their ground penetration capability, and/or, maintaining or recovering the permeability of their outer seepage filtration element; involving a method which can be activated remotely at the operator's discretion, while those parent devices are at depth within the earth. This apparatus and method may have application in water well installations and reviving flow in oil wells.

Claim (Index 6):
An apparatus as defined in  claim 5  to improve the physical characteristics of mine tailings by increasing the bulk density of said mine tailings with the consequential benefits of increasing the shear strength of said mine tailings by causing a reduction in the void space occupied by water; and of reducing the overall volume occupied by said mine tailings; and, of releasing water previously entrapped in said mine tailings allowing for its subsequent reuse.
