Compaction Grouting

With Compaction Grouting a very similar service/process would be provided to that of our Piling work procedure.

Compaction Grouting is a very specialized grouting technique designed to stabilize or densify the existing weak soils. This is accomplished by drilling/driving injection casing to the predetermined grout zone depth and injecting a stiff mortar under pressure through the cased boreholes. As the grout is pumped in, it gradually forms a bulb which pushes the surrounding soil to the side, thereby increasing the relative density of the soil. The casing is then withdrawn in stages and the grouting process is repeated until full treatment is achieved. The resulting denser soil now has a higher load-bearing capacity, thus stopping or preventing settlement.
