Jet Grouting
Overview
Jet grouting is the ‘key hole’ surgery of ground engineering and is the most flexible and powerful of all the ground engineering techniques
Jet grouting is an insitu soil mixing technique, where the jet of grout is used to erode and mix the insitu soil to form a soilcrete with high strength and low permeability. Strength ranges from 500 to 10,000kPa and permeability from 1×10-8 to 10-9 m/s. The jetting process has a key hole surgery ability, able to work underneath and in between existing structures. With a single 150mm diameter hole, jet grout can be used to create up to 3m diameter columns of soilcrete.
Key Attributes

- Suitable for conventional and restricted access
- Suitable for all soil types, particularly problematic sands and soft clays
- Flexible geometry
- Fast curing, immediate results
- Increase bearing capacity and strength
- Increase modulus, reduce settlement
- Decrease permeability, stop ground water flow
- Low noise, minimum vibration, no dust
