EUROPEAN STABILIZATION PRACTICE USING CHEMICAL SYSTEMS IN URBAN TUNNELING

Injection stabilization as an aid to tunneling is practiced extensively in Europe and its use is increasing in the United States. The advantages of this technique over conventional solutions can be substantial in cost terms and time. The paper discusses European practices in terms of grouting techniques, costs, the reasons for grouting, philosophy of the users towards grouting, design of grouting solutions and methods of quality control. Differences with U.S. grouting practices are also noted.
