About Pressure Grouting

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 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.
