Ground Improvement Methodologies

Jet Grouting

Injects grout at high pressure and velocity, destroying the soil structure and mixing grout and soil to form a homogeneous mass.

Permeation Grouting

controlled injection of low viscosity grout that will allow fluid or gas migration.

Fracture Grouting

It is the injection and hydro fracturing with grout slurry of the soil between the foundation to be controlled and the process causing the

settlement.
