Pressure Grouting
Pressure grouting involves the injection of a liquefied cementitious
material, under pressure, into large voids, void spaces between soil particles, cracks or even between subsurface bearing materials and an existing structure.
This technique is used to apply pressures
on adjacent soil formations or building structures as in floor or foundation leveling. The process further requires that the grout gel or solidify within the areas treated.
Pressure grouting can take the form of compaction grouting, curtain grouting, chemical grouting, permeation grouting or any other application where the grout material is installed under pressure.
Chemical Grouting
Chemical grout is an efficient and cost-effective means to bind in-situ soil particles and seal narrow joints, fractures and seeps.
Chemical grout is forced through joints and cracks into the surrounding soil, where it solidifies with the soil to form a relatively impermeable mass.
The process requires injection of a specially formulated fluid grout (typically sodium silicates, acrylates , polyurethanes or MC-Silicates) into existing pore spaces in finer -grained soils such as silts and clays that resist penetration by cement.
Various chemical grouts have different strengths, viscosities, toxicities and costs.
Compaction Grouting
Compaction grouting improves the bearing capacity of foundations and underlying soils by pumping a low-slump cement mixture into the soil, under pressure.
The cement pushes aside the surrounding soil as it is pumped in, compacting the soil in the process and increasing its density, while forming a grout column or bulb.
This method is simple in essence but requires careful planning based on the knowledge of on-site
conditions to achieve best
results at a given location.
Cement (Slurry) Grouting
Cement or slurry grouting is the pressurized injection of flowable
particulate grouts (flowable
fill) into open cracks, voids and expanded fractures.
Applications include injection into abandoned pipelines, pressure-injected anchors, stabilization of gravels and shot rock, rock foundation treatment for dams and, under proper conditions, confinement of plumes resulting from hazardous waste spills.
The materials composing slurry grouting include finely ground slag or Portland cement, dispersants and large quantities of water to form a slurry mixture capable of penetrating fine sand or finely cracked rock.
