Grouting methods used for construction

Chemicals are of great importance when it comes to doing work related to construction of roads or waterproofing. These chemicals could be used for specific or general purposes and serves as a backbone of construction sites. Construction chemicals can be used for different purposes and they are also known as additive substance since they are used after construction stages.

Application of construction chemicals is essential for performing road construction. One can use different kind of chemicals depending on the construction material used. Some of the compounds are used for water proofing while other are used as an adhesive, support, grout etc. Chemicals used for the construction could be sensitive so one needs to handle these chemicals with care.

How to apply grouting

Here are some of the steps that will help you in application of the grouting chemicals. With the steps given below, application of these chemicals will be easy and less time consuming.

1. Choosing and mixing grout- One of the ways to remove old grout is by using chemicals or using rotatory tool. Grout saw can be used for these purposes. It is important to find some of the chemicals available in the market to grout.

2. Applying chemicals- Next step is to apply grout using application techniques.

3. Remove excess grout- It is essential to remove excess grout when chemicals are applied using wipe or cloth.

Different methods used for grouting

In order to ensure better construction, it is essential to perform quality chemical grouting. There are three main types of grouting methods used for soil improvement procedure.

1. Compaction Grouting

This form of grouting method is used more commonly as a soil injection technique in which low workable paste of cement remains homogenous without entering in the soil pore. The mass of cement extends, then the soil is removed and the compaction happens in the end. In this step, the drilling is first performed, followed by grout injection, step-up injection and finishing process.

2. Permeation Grouting

In this type of grouting method, low viscosity fluid is injected in the pores of soil in order to change the physical structure of soil. It helps in the strengthening of soil particles and provides stability and waterproofing at the same time. It is more of a flexible system which requires less effort.

3. Jet Grouting

In this system, the grouting could be performed through underpinning, excavation support, stabilization of soil and pollution control. In this method, a high mixture of fluid is injected in the soil.
