Caissons are often used in marine construction to reduce the amount of work undertaken in the water.\u00a0 These massive blocks can have a wide variation in foundation requirements, from a level tolerance of \u00b15mm to \u00b1500mm after settlement depending on the purpose of the structure and the ability of later construction stages to absorb this tolerance.<\/p>
Stone bedding layers are often used as the foundation. This creates certain challenges when constructed underwater, such as:<\/p>
Compared to stone bedding layers, grout bag foundations are well suited to applications where:<\/p>
Foundation grout bags are specifically developed with the designer and contractor for each project\u2019s particular requirements. Our engineers use a range of variables, not limited to:<\/p>
The formwork and grouting pipes are prefixed to the concrete element in the casing yard. The element is then submerged and positioned on jacks, the bags are pump filled from a grouting barge. The formwork controls the grout, filling the void between the element and the bed surface in a carefully designed sequence. We guarantee void filling and full contact with controlled uplift pressures.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
Foundation grout bags provide control during construction by:<\/p>
