The engineer of record recommended a ground improvement plan that consisted of a combination of compaction grouting and chemical grouting points to remediate the sinkhole activity. Approximately 578+ cubic yards of compaction grout injected in 45 points at varying depths ranging from 22 feet to 150 feet below existing grade. A mixture of cement, fly ash, sand, water, and other admixtures were injected into the loose soils and voids in the limestone and overlying sand strata.
The chemical grouting densified and stabilized the interior shallow soils. A total of 6,523+ lbs. of chemical grout was injected through 116 chemical grout points. Each point was pumped at 12 feet to 6 feet below ground surface until lift of the slab/ground refusal was achieved.
All operations were performed under the observation of the engineer of record. Efficient planning & coordination was key to overcoming the challenges & limitations. \n\n[/cs_content_seo][/cs_element_layout_column][/cs_element_layout_row][/cs_element_section][cs_element_section _id=”37″ ][cs_element_row _id=”38″ ][cs_element_column _id=”39″ ][cs_element_image _id=”40″ ][cs_element_image _id=”41″ ][cs_element_gap _id=”42″ ][/cs_element_column][cs_element_column _id=”43″ ][cs_element_image _id=”44″ ][cs_element_image _id=”45″ ][cs_element_gap _id=”46″ ][/cs_element_column][/cs_element_row][/cs_element_section][/cs_content]
