Caisson bridge piers are often used for sea bridge construction due to the speed of construction over water and the reduction of works required in the water.\u00a0 The bridge decks are often formed of precast or prefabricated elements which pose a restriction on the placement and final position tolerances of the pier units.<\/p>
Stone bedding layers are often used as the foundation. This creates certain challenges when constructed underwater, such as:<\/p>
All of these can make the required tolerances harder to achieve with potential delays while adjustments are made.<\/p>
Compared to stone bedding layers, grout bag foundations are well suited to applications where:<\/p>
The grout bag system is an alternative to compacted stone bedding layers, providing a grouted layer which fills the void between the precast concrete element being placed and the seabed. Capable of managing a bed tolerance up to 900mm.<\/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 grout bag and grouting pipes are prefixed to the concrete element in the casing yard, once the element is submerged and positioned on jacks, the bags are pump filled from a grouting barge. The grout bag controls the grout, filling the void between the element and the bed surface in a carefully designed sequence for guaranteed void filling and full contact with controlled uplift pressures.<\/p>
Foundation grout bags provide control during construction by:<\/p>
Performance has been demonstrated by 30 years of proven performance on some of the world\u2019s largest marine construction projects.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"featured_media":2938,"parent":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"site-sidebar-layout":"no-sidebar","site-content-layout":"page-builder","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"disabled","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-gradient":""}}},"solution_categories":[9],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
