Jet grouting method

Safe sealing of excavation pits
and stabilisation of the soil

We use the jet grouting method, for example, to create tight excavation shoring, seal excavation floors or underpin the foundations of existing buildings. In this process, the soil structure is broken up by a high-energy liquid/suspension jet. At the same time, the fine particles of the soil are removed, mixed or supplemented with cement and thus solidified.

Implementation

A special drill string is sunk to the bottom of the borehole using uncased rotary drilling and drilling fluid. During retraction, the in-situ soil is cut open with the rotating cutting jet (horizontal water and/or suspension jet with or without the addition of air) and simultaneously mixed with the cement suspension.

Examinations

  • Test columns
  • Temperature measurements in the centre of the column to determine the diameter and cement content of the column
  • Determination of the diameter by geophysical measurement on gauging rods
