Commercial Compaction Grouting in Phoenix, Tucson & Nearby

Professional pressure grouting to stabilize commercial foundations

Compaction grouting is a proven technique for enhancing the stability and strength of soils beneath commercial structures. Whether addressing weak, loose, or shifting soils, this method provides a dependable way to support foundations, reduce settlement, and prevent future structural issues. Pressure grouting provides a dense, stable area of soil from which other solutions can be implemented. Arizona Foundation Solutions offers several types of cement and chemical grouting, with varying features to meet the specific needs of any job.

What is compaction grouting?

Compaction grouting is a type of pressure grouting that becomes more dense and compacts soil that is in need of stabilization.

Compaction grouting (a type of pressure grouting) is a solution for foundation issues involving low-density and low-strength soils. In many foundation repair or structural strengthening jobs, poor soil quality is the root cause of a significant portion of the damage to the structure or foundation. Through the use of compaction grouting, soils can be densified and compacted at points of weakness around a structure, offering a stable foundation from which additional solutions can be applied without worrying about the potential impact of poor soil.

Advantages of pressure grouting

• Provides support for weak structures and slabs
• Can provide protection for buried infrastructure since the soil is raised with the structure
• Can provide support in tight-access locations
• Offers a broad spectrum of soil stabilizing applications

Pressure grouting installation process

The pressure grouting process entails multiple steps, beginning with site surveillance and soil type analyses. Our soil engineers will identify the depths at which the weak and strong soils rest so we know exactly where to apply pressure grouting for maximum effect.

Once a desired depth is established, an injection casing is powered into the soil in the area where grouting will be applied. Typically, an air-powered driver or hydraulic hammer is used. When penetration of harder soils is required, some pre-drilling is often necessary and usually necessitates the use of a down-in-the-hole hammer. Arizona Foundation Solutions operates several state-of-the-art TEI Rotary down-in-the-hole-hammers specifically to excel in this field, ensuring that no customer's job is too tough to handle properly.

When the injection casing has reached the proper depth, pressurized grouting materials are injected into the area to compact and densify the soil. Once a volume, pressure, or ground movement marker has been met, the casing is raised 12 to 24 inches, and the same grouting process is repeated until the desired mass of grouting is reached.
