On September 22 the ISSMGE committee for ground improvement hosts an online presentation about a new jet grouting method from Japan.
In Japan, due to topographical factors, jet grouting has been developed in such a way that it can be executed using a small construction machine and is applied for various purposes.
In his presentation Dr Tsutomu Tsuchiya will introduce the latest jet grouting method, featuring: high quality jet grouting for permanent structures, large diameter jet grouting columns and various shapes of jet grouting columns. Supported by a field application example, Dr. Tsuchiya will also introduce the technical ingenuity that makes these features possible. Furthermore he will discuss future developments.
