Permeation Grouting

GROUND IMPROVEMENT SOLUTIONS

What is Permeation Grouting?

Permeation grouting is a technique used to inject microfine cement into the cracks and fissures in the soil to fill voids and produce a solidified mass to support increased loads. This process is used to control water seepage, provide a temporary or permanent underpinning of existing foundations, improve the bearing capacity of soils under existing foundations, and excavation shoring. It is particularly useful in situations where the cracks and fissures or the soils are too small to allow the slurry grout to infiltrate these spaces. This technique is an effective solution to strengthen weak soils and provide stability for foundations and structures. With our expertise and attention to detail, we can provide a high-quality service to meet your needs.

Permeation Grouting Techniques: Enhancing Foundation Support

What Are the Advantages of Permeation Grouting?

A highly effective technique for stabilizing soils and controlling water seepage. Some of the advantages include:

Allows for highly precise placement of grout, allowing it to permeate even the smallest cracks and fissures in the soil. This makes it an ideal solution for stabilizing soils and filling voids.

The microfine cement used is highly durable and resistant to erosion, making it an excellent choice for long-term stabilization of soils and foundations.

More cost-effective than other methods of soil stabilization, as it requires less excavation and can be completed more quickly than other techniques.

Can be performed with minimal disruption to existing structures and infrastructure, making it an ideal solution for retrofitting and repair work.

Can be used for a variety of applications, including excavation shoring, foundation underpinning, and soil stabilization.

How Can Permeation Grouting Be Used to Strengthen Soil?

Permeation grouting is a highly effective technique that can be used to strengthen soil. By injecting microfine cement under pressure into the soil, the cracks and fissures are filled, resulting in a solidified mass that can support increased loads and fill voids in the ground. This process improves the soil’s bearing capacity and helps to prevent water seepage, which can cause soil erosion and instability.

This technique can be used to provide temporary and permanent underpinning of existing foundations, as well as improve the bearing capacity of soils under existing foundations. This technique is also used in excavation shoring, which involves the construction of temporary support structures to protect workers and equipment during excavation.

Overall, permeation grouting is a highly effective way to strengthen soil and improve its stability. It offers a long-lasting solution that can prevent future problems and ensure the safety and longevity of structures built on or near the treated soil.

What is the Permeation Grouting Process?

This ground improvement technique involves injecting microfine cement under pressure into the soil to fill cracks and fissures, resulting in a solidified mass that can support increased loads and fill voids in the ground. The process starts with a thorough site investigation and analysis to determine the soil conditions and the type and extent of the cracks and fissures.

Next, a grout injection system is set up, which typically includes a pump, pipes, and injection nozzles. The microfine cement is mixed with water to create a slurry, which is then injected into the soil under pressure through the injection nozzles.

As the slurry infiltrates the cracks and fissures in the soil, it solidifies and creates a stable mass that can support the weight of structures above it. The process is repeated until the desired level of stabilization is achieved.

Client Reviews

Foundation Grouting and Structural Repair for Homeowner

I wanted to drop you a quick note. Late last year I had Tom Szynakiewicz come by and advise me as to what I needed to do to fix my house structure. Tom and GSI were great to work with to find a solution for my structure issues. GSI did an excellent job for us and got us on the right track with the work that was performed. We just sold the home last week, and disclosed the work that was done. We had zero issues with selling the home because it was fixed by GSI. I am very thankful I called and got you guys involved! Thanks again for steering me in the right direction Wayne!

Safety-Focused Project Support for Commercial Client in Tennessee

I wanted to take a moment to express gratitude and satisfaction with the job that GSI performed for me.  This work was inside a very congested industrial environment which also had other potential hazards with the presence of alcohol. In addition to confined quarters inside the building we had extreme weather conditions taking place outside the building.  My client was on a critical path timeline and this required GSI to return the week between Christmas and New Year’s. I knew that this was a mandatory week off for GSI but your organization came through, no ifs, ands or buts.

1.) The job superintendent, Ian Turner, handled himself remarkably. He was professional and no matter what the situation he took ownership.

2.) Every person on my job site with GSI had an extraordinary attitude. Case in point: As I was giving a “pep talk” I commented, “some of you guys may be ready to go home”. Emanuel from Georgia, raised his head looked at me and said “no, we wanna finish this job”. Every single person on this project is welcome to work on my projects anytime!

3.) Jarrod Hartshorn was as stated in your company policies willing to communicate 24/7. He answered his phone night or day and if he didn’t in a short while I could expect a phone call.  Jarrod also drove to my project to check on things with me and with the crew working.

4.) One of the best safety programs I have ever witnessed! I enjoy doing “flex and stretch“ with the crew every morning. Thank you!

5.) Hats off to all those volunteers the week after Christmas.

I wish I could remember all names but a special thanks to everyone on my project [including] Preston, Emanuel, Ian, Cole, Cliff, Jarrod, Zach, and the maintenance guy from Kentucky.
