Geotechnical Investigations for Grouting in Soil
One of the most common complaints about grouting is that quantities cannot be estimated in advance, to a reasonable level of accuracy. Some feel that cost of grouting always overruns the estimate and by a lot. A second common complaint is that after a significant sum of money had been spent it became obvious that the type of grouting used just was not going to work. Both of these complaints originate with the planning of the grouting program. Planning begins with the subsurface geotechnical investigation. A good investigation is essential to the success of a grouting project. While the contractor's execution of the contract is a significant factor, a reputable and knowledgeable contractor will be more likely to be successful with a well written specification and appropriate and sufficient subsurface information. For a design engineer to write a good specification, knowledge of the appropriate grouting methods and thorough subsurface information is essential. This paper will focus primarily on grouting in soil but may have application in rock grouting.
