Jet Grouting Guideline






PREFACE

This document has been prepared by the Jet Grouting Task Force, a subcommittee of the Geo-Institute of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) Grouting Committee. The Jet Grouting Task Force was assembled in 2005 by the Grouting Committee to represent a cross section of the industry. Task Force members include Owners, Engineers, Consultants, and Specialt y Contractors all engaged in jet grouting activit ies.

The intent of this document is to provide a jet grouting guideline approved by the Jet Grouting Task Force that is fair to all parties involved on a jet grouting project. This document is not intended to cover every conceivable application or requirement of jet grouting. However, it does provide standard practice requirements for qualifications, materials, equipment, testing, and production procedures for the Professional Engineer to incorporate into their project specific requirements.

The Task force has included commentary wit hin this document. The commentary is shown in italic and appears immediately after sub-articles requiring further discussion. The commentary is here to provide a better understanding of specific language chosen for the body of the guideline and also provides alternate requirements and language that can be incorporated by the Professional Engineer.

Quest ions regarding this document should be directed to the Jet Grouting Task Force of the Geo-Institute of ASCE Grouting Committee.
