pressure grouting
| Cementitious Pressure Grouting is
a technique where a series of 2" holes
are drilled through the existing concrete slab
and a grout tube is inserted into each hold.
Cementitious "slabjack" grout is
pumped under pressure through each hole. The
grout displaces, compacts and solidifies, thus
forming grout columns and or filling void areas,
as applicable to each individual job. Pressure
grouting stabilizes the existing concrete slab;
however, lifting of the slab, if any, is contingent
upon integrity of the concrete. |
Pressure grouting for stabilization is widely
used under pool decks and lanai areas and driveways.
The interior of a residence may also be stabilized
in this manner. Pressure grouting is effective
alone or in conjunction with helical piering system
applications.
Urethane Grouting for the purpose
of soil stabilization is achieved by installing
lengths of galvanized pipe into the soils at specified
intervals and injecting urethane soil stabilization
grout into the soils. As pumping takes place the
pipes are raised, creating a stabilized soil curtain
and or pile cap. These stabilized soils create
a load bearing substrate.
