Jet Grouting
Blog
/ 4 Sep, 2023
Jet grouting is a specialized construction technique that
involves injecting high-pressure grout into .soil or rock to form a soil-cement column. Our selected
project does not use this method. But this is a better way than using a sheet pile. Also, this is a
very suitable earthwork support because the site is on a riverbank.
Benefits:
- It can be used to create stable foundations for
structures such as bridges or buildings on riverbanks.
- It can also be used to stabilize soil slopes and
prevent landslides or other slope failures.
- It can be used in areas with limited access or
difficult soil or rock conditions as it can be done.
- Using small equipment and requires minimal
excavation.
- The resulting soil-cement columns are strong and
durable, providing long-term stability to the riverbank.
Considerations:
- Jet grouting requires careful planning and
design to ensure that the grout strips are properly placed and of sufficient
size and strength for the intended load
- The construction process can be time-consuming
and require specialised equipment and expertise.
- Using high-pressure grout injection may disturb
or damage the surrounding soil or rock.
- The environmental impact of jet milling must be
carefully considered and minimised, particularly in terms of waste generation
and disposal.
-
Overall, jet grouting can effectively stabilise riverbanks
and create a stable base for construction. during construction activities. However, it is important to
carefully assess site conditions and potential risks before choosing this earthworks support
method and to ensure that appropriate design, construction and environmental measures are in place
to ensure a successful and sustainable outcome.
