Grouting 2017

Join Golder Associates at the 5th International Grouting Conference and attend sessions with our grouting team, where they will present new technologies and current practice related to grouting, deep mixing and diaphragm wells.

Golder’s contribution to the Grouting 2017 program
You are cordially invited to come and visit one of our sessions:

Statistical evaluation of groutability with data from hydraulic tests and fracture mapping – Case studies from Sweden
Presented by: Edward Runslätt, Geotechnical Engineer, Stockholm office
Date/Time: Monday, July 10 at 2.00pm – 3.30pm
Session: 2A31/ Design and Assessment, Part I
Abstract: The results from three different case studies will be discussed regarding how a statistical analysis in the conceptual design stage can benefit and improve the grouting design in terms of groutability, i.e. predicting the need for grouting and determining the proper grout for a particular rock mass and optimization of the grouting design..

Unified Design Approach for Rock Fissure Grouting – Best Design Practice for Pre-grouting of Rock Tunnels in Sweden
Presented by: Mikael Creütz, Senior Ground Engineer, Stockholm office
Date/Time: Tuesday, July 11 at 2.00pm – 3.30pm
Session: 2A32/ Design and Assessment, Part II
Abstract: In order to make sealing of tunnels more efficient the Swedish Transport Administration has initiated a project to develop a unified design approach for rock fissure grouting in hard crystalline rock. The aim of the design approach is to have a coherent and structured process and methodology for grouting design, resulting in an appropriate, similar and transparent design approach independent of designer.
