grouting

The problem (from the planners' point of view, anyway) isn't that it requires constant grouting, it's that it stopped getting constant grouting.

The dam is kept stable by continuous grouting operations, which I believe were on hold for awhile.

One of the most deceptively dangerous projects that a DIYer can take on is bathroom wall tiling re-grouting.

Trying to do all that pumped concrete grouting work with those small tubular robot vehicles is a neat trick.

My broader point is that a dam which requires constant grouting seems like a pretty bad idea.

Google tried to do the backfilling/slot filling with some sort of rubber compound or something that was not proper pavement grouting.

Under the contract, the Italians will do the grouting for a year, and then leave the equipment with their Iraqi counterparts.

Note decided later - unclear whether ever enough grouting was done to fill the need.

Well, immediately getting back to grouting the base would be the first order of business.

Also cleaning grout from them while float grouting would probably not be very fun.

They were coming up to the work-surfaces through cracks in the grouting.

The stoppage of grouting was just another straw on the camel's back.

When I looked up "grouting" on Wikipedia, I learned it's a process most dams use.

The only way to "micro trench" fiber that will last is using a big-ass diamond bladed wet saw, like 10 to 12 inches down and then fill the slot with proper concrete/pavement grouting.

He wrote a letter in 1962 to a fellow architect in which he said: "Beton brut was born at the Unité d'Habitation at Marseilles where there were 80 contractors and such a massacre of concrete that one simply could not dream of making useful transitions by means of grouting.

When they built the Jubilee line extension under the houses of parliament they had to monitor how far Big Ben started leaning, and do something call "compensation grouting" to tip it back upright (basically you drill horizontal holes under it and pump concrete under it).
