Compaction grouting, also known as ‘Low Mobility Grouting’, is a grouting technique developed in the 1950’s as a remedial measure for the correcting of settlement of heavy structures. The grout displaces and densifies loose granular soils, reinforces fine grained soils and stabilizes subsurface voids or sinkholes. Grouting is accomplished by the multi-step injections of low-slump, low mobility grout. The soil becomes increasingly dense as water and/or air are forced out and soil particles are rearranged by the incoming grout. If lift is a desired result, the process can be continued on a controlled basis until lift requirements have been achieved.

Our company has used compaction grouting in many situations:

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.
