Grouting - 1. Injection of fluid grout through drilled
holes, under pressure, to fill seams, fractures, or joints and
thus seal off water inflows or consolidate fractured rock
(“formation grouting”). 2. Injection of fluid grout into
annular space or other voids between tunnel lining and
rock mass to achieve contact between the lining and the
surrounding rock mass (“skin” or “contact” grouting). 3.
Injection of grout in tail/void behind prefabricated, segmental
lining (“baclctll grouting”). 4. The injection under
relatively high pressures of a very stiff, “zero-slump” mortar
or chemical grout to displace and compact soils in place
(“compaction grouting”).
