Our compaction grouting service increases soil load capacity by injecting a cement/grout mixture under high pressure using specialized equipment. This process fills voids, compacts soil layers, and improves overall soil density for enhanced stability and support.

Ram Jack uses compaction grouting in many applications including sinkhole remediation and foundation repair. Many types of soil can see improvement with compaction grouting. Compaction grouting is used for support and densification as well as void filling. This method is used to fill the voids in the ground around and under your dwelling, providing foundation reinforcement, and can be used for sinkhole repair.
The main purpose of compaction grouting is to increase the load the soil can bear by adding material to the lower soil layers. To do this, we utilize a limited-access drill to drill to the adequate depth. Next, a thick cement/grout mixture is pumped into the ground under high pressure using a Schwing 500 grout pump and steel casing. The soils are compacted as the cement/grout mixture penetrates the soil. The thick cement mixture is formulated to remain tight within the soil and fill any voids. The grout seals off the top of the limestone layer first. As the casings are removed section by section, the compaction grout increases soil density layer by layer. Finally the casings are removed from the ground, loaded back on the trailer, and removed from the repaired property.
