Soil is an important factor for public health, and when a soil contaminant occurs by oil spill, it has a great impact on the ecosystem, including humans. Accordingly, the area is blocked using a vertical barrier, and various remediation methods are being applied when an oil spill occurs. This study intends to use a smart liner to prevent and detect the spreading of soil contaminants in a situation in which oil spill detection is important. However, the smart liner is in the form of a fiber, so it is impossible to construct it in a general method. Therefore, the roll spreading and inserting method (RSIM) is proposed for smart liner construction. RSIM is a method of installing a supporting pile after excavating the ground and connecting the smart liner vertically to the ground surface. This method is the first method proposed in this study, and the design and concept have not been established. In this study, a conceptual design was established to apply RSIM in the actual field, and a scale model experiment was performed to prove it. As a result of the scale model experiment, the applicability of RSIM was confirmed. Finally, numerical analysis using Abaqus/CAE was performed to carry out the detailed design of RSIM (installation conditions such as dimensions). Analysis parameters were embedded depth, thickness, diameter, and material properties of a supporting pile according to the ground type. As a result of the analysis, it was confirmed that the results of RSIM analysis were interacting with all parameters according to the ground conditions. Therefore, it was confirmed that the actual design should be based on ground investigation and economic conditions, not standardized regulations.
