Compaction Grouting
Compaction Grouting uses displacement to improve ground conditions. A very viscous (lowmobility), aggregate grout is pumped in stages, forming grout bulbs, which displace and densify the surrounding soils.
Significant improvement can be achieved by sequencing the grouting work from primary to secondary to tertiary locations.

sufficient to enable the grout to displace the soil horizontally (if uncontrolled heave of the ground surface occurs densification will be minimized)
The grout injection rate should be slow enough to allow pore
pressure dissipation. Pore pressure dissipation should also be considered in hole spacing and sequencing
Sequencing of grout injection is also important. If the soil is
not near saturation, compaction grouting can usually be effective in most silts and sands

Jet Grouting
Jet Grouting is a versatile Ground Modification system used to create in situ cemented geometries of soilcrete. SuperJet Grouting is a modified double-fluid jet grouting system that takes advantage of tooling design efficiencies and increased energy to create high-quality, large diameter (11-16 ft), soilcrete elements. It is effective in most soil types and is best when applied for bottom seals and surgical treatment applications.

SuperJet Grouting
Grout, air and drilling fluid are pumped through separate chambers in the drill string. Upon reaching the design drill depth, jet grouting is initiated with high velocity, coaxial air and grout slurry to erode and mix with the soil, while the pumping of drilling fluid is ceased.
This system uses opposing nozzles and a highly sophisticated jetting monitor specifically designed for focus of the injection media. Using very slow rotation and lift, soilcrete column diameters of 10-16 ft (3-5m) can be achieved. This is the most effective system for mass stabilization application or where surgical treatment is necessary.
