Grouting, whether that be chemical, jet, slurry, compaction (or many more) is typically utilized to address some key soil behavior issues in the engineering/construction world. Cost-effective grouting techniques have been used successfully across a wide array of project sites to remediate settlement issues and sinkhole problems, to improve soil stiffness or fill voids to slow water seepage, and even to lift settled buildings or slabs.
In this presentation, we will first discuss grouting basics and then delve into the background behind these various grouting techniques, pointing out design and planning considerations we’ve encountered. Then we will discuss various project examples and share some operational tips and tricks we’ve learned along the way. The topic of grouting is a big one and we’ve not seen it all, so bring any questions you have and we can certainly connect you with other experts who have.
