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.

record of readings from the Performance and Proof tests shall be documented by the Contractor
and provided to the Engineer.
Specifications for tiedown anchors are generally found in the contract Special Provisions.
Tiedown anchors shall be installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommenda-
tions. In the case of a con.ict between the manufacturer’s recommendations and the
Special Provisions, the Special Provisions shall prevail.
Sequence of Construction
Sequence of tiedown construction is as follows:
SEQUENCE
DESCRIPTION
1
Drill the hole the required depth and diameter.
2
Install the prestressing strands or bar.
3
Place primary grout.
4
Complete Performance and Proof Tests (refer to the section on testing later
in this chapter).
5
Lock-off and stress.
6
Place secondary grout.
Note: Each step must comply with the specifications before proceeding to the next step.
Testing of Tieback and Tiedown Anchors
The specific requirements for all testing will usually be provided in the contract Special
Provisions, but the following is a general explanation of the required tests.
For both tiedowns and tiebacks, Performance tests are performed on a predetermined
number of anchors, and Proof tests are done on all of the anchors. If the systems should
fail, the contract Special Provisions provide for additional monitoring requirements. If they
do not pass at that point, the Project Designer should be consulted.
