Permeation
grouting is an economical means
to remediate existing and potential geological
and foundation support problems, without causing major
disruption to structures. The pressure grouting process consists of the direct
pressure injection of a
liquefied grout (microfine cement) into voids, cracks, fractures, cavities,
or even between a bearing media and a
structure, foundation or bearing walls. The permeation
grouting methods can take the forms of
compaction, curtain, chemical, microfine cement, slurry, or any other
permeation application used to
install a cement grout or low-mobility material.
The pressure method requires that the media
gels or solidifies within or around the treated areas: soil, pipes,
cracks, fractures, conduits, or holes. The main purposes
of the permeation grouting are to improve
support, strength, and function of a
given media, element. or substance, i.e., concrete walls, pipes, blocks, gravel,
cement columns, or
soils.
These permeation (cement) techniques have more applications than just
sealing and can also be used to lift structures such as: floors,
walls, buildings, bridges, columns, highways, parking lot pavement,
towers, and more.
