Compaction
Grouting is the injection of a very stiff,
pumpable grout mixture at very high pressure
into specific areas in the soil. The expanding
globular mass of grout then compacts the soil
around each point of discharge. Compaction
Grouting is most commonly done in stages,
working from the bottom on deep injection,
up since this is the fastest method. However,
top down injection is often used on shallow
injection applications as this method strengthens
the upper layer of soil to help contain the
pressures of the lower levels of compaction.
Compaction Grouting techniques are used for
pre-construction site improvement, to arrest
foundation settlements, rectify sinkhole problems,
to lift and to level slabs and foundations,
but don't require sandy soil conditions as
in permeation techniques.
