Symposium on Grouting: Construction of Rocky Reach Grouted Cutoff
Grouting is a commonly used and long accepted practice for cutting off or controlling seepage through rock foundations or abutments of dams. Its use for effecting a cutoff in alluvials, however, is almost without precedent in the United-States, although it has been used on several projects in Europe and in Canada, At the Rocky Reach project on the main stem of the Columbia River north of Wenatchee, Wash., the left abutment is a broad, high terrace overlying a buried channel. The basal member of the sediments forming this terrace is a series of openwork gravels open to the river. This paper describes the design and construction, by grouting, of the cutoff constructed across this gravel to control seepage through it.
