Compaction Grouting Compaction Grouting is a process by which a chemical grout is injected under a structure that is tilting to raise it. The process is similar to blowing up a balloon using grout instead of air. For example, if a large piling were tilting to the side, a grouting hole would be created under the side of the piling where the tilt was occurring. A mass of the chemical grout is injected under the structure and will basically act a "hydraulic jack" under the ground to permanent pitch the structure to it's original angle. |
