Design Verification into the Grouting Program
Verification of the success or failure of grouting is rarely possible as an afterthought when a project is complete. Also, verification often is difficult and expensive. If potentially effective methods of verification are considered right along with the project and its objectives during the planning stage, there is a good chance of coming up with a reasonably effective verification scheme. The paper outlines example projects where performance was its own verification. It also covers areas where direct measurement and monitoring can prove effectiveness, where use of tracer materials will track performance, and where locating the grout seems to be the only way to ascertain performance and verify quality. Two projects are described where complex and combined methods were used, methods which showed some of the possibilities which exist if the proper fact gathering is designed into the system from the start.
