Magazine Article: Sorting Out the Grout
Published Year: 2013
- Tunnel contractors can choose whether to use cement or chemical grouts. To help them out, Britt Babcock discusses both types, which to use, when to use them and why...and an idea of how much it will all cost.
Magazine Article: To Grout Or Not To Grout?
Published Year: 2013
- Groundwater can bring an underground mining operation to its knees, but it can be controlled with ingenuity, co-operation and grout expertise

Case Study: AV-100 Chemical Grout Solves Leakage Problems in Tailings Dam for Large Copper/Gold Mine in Argentina
Published Year: 1998
- This is a case study whereby acrylamide solution grout was used to achieve the “target residual permeability value” in the rock formation below a future tailings dam for a large copper/gold mine in Argentina.
Case Study: Blocking Artesian Flows
Published Year: 1960
- In Oregon's Deschutes River canyon, a 440-foot dam sits on Pelton basalt formed by lava flows. Springs emerged from lava contacts, necessitating closure beneath the dam. Deschutes sediments were exposed on the dam abutments, which made using cement grout
Case Study: Constructing Grout Curtain for Dam
Published Year: 1960
- The Columbia River Valley at the dam site is a wide canyon dividing the Columbia Plateau on the east from the Entiat Mountains on the west.
Case Study: Grouting Foundation for Dam Construction
Published Year: 1960
- A 300-foot rockfill dam with a central impervious core and a crest length of 870 feet was being built on a generally sound granite foundation, except on the upper right abutment where the rock was completely weathered to an in situ soil.
Case Study: Grouting Jointed Rock in Dam Foundation
Published Year: 1960
- Problem: Severe weathering along calcite veins, joints, and cracks, as well as the presence of three fault zones, have formed seepage channels which could endanger the performance of the dam.
Case Study: Grouting River Beds for Dam Corewall Construction
Published Year: 1960
- A high earth- fill dam was being constructed across the Grijalva River. After diversion of the river, seepage was still occurring through the riverbed sands.
Case Study: Repairs to Leaking Earthen Dam
Published Year: 1960
- Indian Kill Reservoir is a man- made lake (capacity 200 million gallons.) serving a portion of Sterling Forest, a community developed for scientific research, education, and suburban living.
