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.
