Grouting, in theory, has been a cost-effective method of sealing pipe joints and can be a very viable technology for structurally-sound pipes. However, many municipalities have attempted grouting in the past and been underwhelmed by its performance, especially as a longer term solution to infiltration and to pipe stabiliztion.

Grouting pipe laterals and joints will stop leaks and prevent groundwater infiltration, thereby protecting the environment from possible pollution. Municipal Pipe Tool Company LLC uses a chemical grout to form a waterproof collar around a leaking pipe.

Injection grouting is a soil sealing process with a two-component chemical grout injected under low pressure through joints and pipe defects. The grout travels into soils and voids around mainline pipe, laterals, lateral connections, manhole structures and into lined pipe annulus to stop leaks, stabilize soils and control infiltration.

Packer injection grouting is used to reduce the infiltration within the pipeline, seal annular space between liners and host pipes at lateral connections, seal pipe joints that have failed the joint test criteria, provide external pipe support, but not a structural rehabilitation, by stabilizing soils outside the pipe and prevent further loss of...

2014年7月11日 · Grout application is one of the most important steps in concrete and steel pressure pipe installation, yet its importance can be underestimated. Equal weight and consideration must be given to the joints; failure to use the right mix of grout or follow pour recommendations may lead to problems down the road.

applied properly and used in appropri-ate conditions, chemical grouting is a long-lasting, cost effective solution that stops infiltration caused by leaks and failing joints, and helps prevent structural damage from developing in leaking pipe that is otherwise sound.

2023年9月25日 · Pipe grouting is a construction technique that helps stabilize and seal the space between a pipe and the surrounding soil. It involves injecting a grout material into the gaps surrounding the pipe. This material then solidifies and creates a stable, impermeable seal. The exact grout material can vary depending on the circumstances.

2022年1月31日 · Injection grouts are used to eliminate infiltration in structurally sound mainlines, laterals, lateral connections and manholes among other underground structures. The infiltration carries soil fines into the system, eroding supporting soils and creating voids outside the pipe or manhole which can lead to sinkholes.

2017年10月19日 · Injection grouting is the original trenchless repair method using grout to seal leaking pipes and sewers. It is a simple process involving the use of a packer on the inside of the pipe to inject grout through the defect. The grout fills the leak in the pipe wall or joint and enters the surrounding soil.

The pipe joint “seal” is created from the grout injected outside the pipe into the surrounding soil. This is why it is imperative that the correct amount of grout is pumped into each joint. If a packer has a one-gallon void space, and only one and a half gallons of grout is pumped into the joint, only a half gallon of grout makes it outside ...
