CEMENT BASED GROUTING


HGS
performs three major types of cement based grouting:


Compaction Grouting

Compaction grouting is the injection of stiff to medium flow grout under relatively high pressures to displace and compact soils in place.

Compaction Grouting Application
   
Arrest foundation settlement
Control soft ground tunnel settlements
Pre-construction soils improvement
Lift and level slabs and foundations
   


 


Intrusion Grouting / Slurry Grouting

Intrusion grouting is the intrusion under pressure of very flow able particulate grouts into cracks, voids and expanded fractures.

Intrusion Grouting / Slurry Grouting Application
   
Rock foundation treatment for dams
Rock cut-off curtains
pressure injected small diameter anchors
Stabilization of gravels and shot rock

Highway Stabilization
   


Lightweight Cellular Foam Grouting

Intrusion grouting is the intrusion under pressure of very flowable particulate grouts into cracks, voids and expanded fractures.

Lightweight Cellular Grouting Application
   
Rock foundation treatment for dams
Rock cut-off curtains
Pressure injected small diameter anchors
Stabilization of gravels and shot rock
   


CHEMICAL BASED GROUTING


HGS
performs two major types of chemical based grouting:


Sodium Silicate Based Chemical Grouting

Sodium silicate based chemical grouting is the Permeation of sandy soils with sodium silicate base grouts to produce masses to carry loads and to assist with erosion control during excavation.

Sodium Silicate Based Grouting Application
   
For lagging operations
Support of footing
Tunnel Support
Pit excavation
Grouted cut-off wall
Grouted pipeline support
   


Polyurethane Grouting

Polyurethane grouting is the injection of a low viscosity, water reactive polyurethane grout in either single component or dual component mode.

Polyurethane Grouting Application
   
Water cut-off/control
Sealing sheet piling joints
Void filing
In place control joints
Soil stabilization in wet environments
   

SINKHOLE REMEDIATION

Injection of variable slump sand, cement, fly ash grout thru 2"-3" injection points placed to competent rock layer to seal and fill solution cavities, density soil, and bridge areas of raveling soils.

Sinkhole Remediation Application

   
Residential
Commercial/Industrial
Road/Highway
Pre-Construction/Stabilization
