Jet Grouting
At Grimtech, we specialize in jet grouting services designed for deep soil improvement, groundwater control, and structural support. Our innovative solutions are suitable for a wide range of geotechnical challenges — from foundation stabilization to seepage control — especially in complex urban environments. Using high-pressure grout injection, we create in-situ soil-cement columns that enhance soil strength, reduce permeability, and ensure long-term stability.
What is Jet Grouting?
Jet grouting is an advanced ground improvement technique that forms in-situ grouted soil columns through the injection of high-pressure grout. The process involves pumping high-velocity jets of grout — sometimes combined with air or water — through a nozzle attached to the end of a drill string. As the drill string and monitor are rotated and withdrawn, the high-pressure jets erode and mix the existing soil, creating a cemented column with superior strength and controlled permeability.
These jet grout columns or panels can be constructed to precise design requirements, making them ideal for various soil types and conditions. The column diameter and properties depend on multiple factors such as soil composition, density, injection pressure, flow rate, and rotation speed.
Why Choose Jet Grouting?
Jet groutings provides a versatile and non-intrusive soil improvement method that minimizes vibration and disruption — a major advantage in densely populated urban areas or near sensitive structures. Unlike traditional soil stabilization techniques, it can be performed in confined spaces and difficult-to-access locations, ensuring safety and precision even in challenging conditions.
Before full-scale implementation, Grimtech conducts a pre-construction testing program to calibrate, verify, and optimize jet grouting parameters, ensuring consistent quality and predictable results.
Types of Jet Grouting Systems
Grimtech offers three specialized jet groutings systems, each tailored to project requirements and ground conditions:
1. Single Fluid Jet Groutings (Cement Only)
This is the simplest system, where a single high-velocity jet of cement grout cuts, erodes, and mixes the soil. It is cost-effective and ideal for fine-grained soils requiring moderate improvement.
2. Double Fluid Jet Groutings (Cement with Air)
In this system, a cone of compressed air surrounds the cement grout jet. The addition of air increases the energy of the jet, enabling larger diameter columns and more efficient soil cutting than the single-fluid system.
3. Triple Fluid Jet Groutings (Cement, Air, and Water)
The most advanced and powerful method, the triple-fluid system uses three separate streams — grout, water, and air — injected simultaneously. This setup allows for maximum column diameter and optimal soil mixing, making it suitable for high-depth treatment and complex soil formations.
Applications of Jet Grouting
Jet grouting is a highly adaptable solution with multiple geotechnical and structural applications, including:
