Chemical Grouting

Our techniques apply when adding new structures: especially rock anchor, microfine cement, soil nailing, micropile installations for foundation support. We specialize in slope stabilization, anchors, permeation grouting, foundation repair and support, grouting, soil nails, rock drilling, micropile installations, and sinkholes. We use a problem-solving approach geotechnical architecture of buildings, bridges, water plants, sewage plants, tunnels, sinkholes, caisson, shoring, underpinning, agriculture, and roads construction. We are experienced in these applications: micro piles, sinkhole repair, permeation grouting, pressure grout, soil nails, chemical grouting, micropiles, compaction grout, and rock anchors. Our specialties are rock anchor, acrylamide and compaction grouting, mini piles, sinkhole repair, micropiles, acrylamide grouting, and soil nailing. We will continue to dedicate ourselves to excellence, including insurance mortgage, in our performance, in our integrity, and in our relationships with our customers. We will carefully weigh our decisions, actions, and results to make sure that we remain the most trusted name in the geotechnical contracting industry.

Pile Testing
In order to facilitate pile testing, the contract specifications require the installation of
inspection tubes (Figure 9-19). These tubes must be installed inside the spiral or hoop
reinforcement of the rebar cage before concrete is placed. Figure 9-20 shows a typical
inspection tube layout and spacing pattern within the rebar cage. These tubes must be
placed in a straight alignment, securely fastened in place, and be watertight. They permit
the insertion of a testing probe that measures the density of the pile concrete. The most
commonly used type of test probe is 1.87 inches in diameter and 22.7 inches in length. If
the inspection tubes are not placed in a straight alignment or are not securely fastened, the
test probe will not fit in the inspection tube. One way of testing the tube would be to try to
deflect it by hand. If it can be deflected by hand, it may be deflected by the placement of
concrete. It is also recommended that the Contractor install a rigid rod in each inspection
