The Oil and Gas Pipeline Industry

With more than 2.6 million miles of oil and gas pipeline panning America, maintenance is a critical necessity to ensure ground stability and surface safety. Superior Grouting works with industry firms to provide geotechnical and remedial grouting services to the Oil & Gas Pipeline Industry with the most common being Pressure Grouting. Pressure Grouting is the generic name applied to several applications requiring the pumping and injection of any number of variable cementitious grout mixtures. Excavation and removal of underground pipes can be extremely expensive but abandoned pipes often cannot simply be left as is. In fact, in certain cases the law now requires that any abandoned pipe be removed or adequately grouted so that it will not collapse in the future and create voids that could cause settlement of the ground surface, roadways or overlaying structure.

Pressure Grouting can help reduce or eliminate several problems such as migration of groundwater and hazardous fluids into the pipe, build-up of explosive gases in the pipe and/or collapse of the pipe, leading to settlement of the overlaying structures caused by the presence of abandoned pipes

Compaction grouting is a specialized technique for in-situ densification of compactable soft or loose soils. A stiff grout is extruded into a soil mass to form an expanding bulb. Any soil capable of being mechanically compacted can be densified by compaction grouting. Superior Grouting’s equipment, capable of achieving grouting pressures of 1000+ psi, can be operated at distances several hundred feet from the injection site and has the capability of drilling in low overhead tight access work areas.
