International Grouting
This international
committee began in
2018 to promote
gu i de l i ne s t ha t
ensure that the quality of grouting work
benefits clients, stakeholders and the
entire geofoundation industry. The
inaugural chairs, Paolo Gazzarrini,
P.Eng., Sea to Sky Geotech, Canada, and
Piero Roberti, Bauer Foundation Corp.,
Germany, have successfully launched
the committee and developed its first
document: a summary of grouting
specifications and guidelines available
in North America and Europe.
This document summarizes the
different approaches, methods and
tools used internationally, and outlines
standard practice requirements for
qualifications, materials, equipment,
testing and production procedures.
Thanks to all the committee members
for contributing to the summary, and
special thanks to Raffaella Granata of
Trevi for the soil and rock grouting
sections; Ken Ivanetich, P.E., of Keller
and Robert Essler of RD Geotech for the
jet grouting section; and Dominic
Parmantier, P.E., of Condon Johnson
Associates for the compaction grouting
section, and Christophe Justino, Ph.D.,
of Soletanche for the testing of grout
mixes section.
We remain grateful for Gazzarrini
and Roberti's leadership, initiative and
commitment to creating the committee
and fostering its success. They are
pleased to now pass the committee
leadership torch at this year's annual
conference to new committee co-chairs,
