Execution of Special Geotechnical Work: Grouting
Also Known As:
The DIN EN 12715 standard focuses on the execution of special geotechnical work related to grouting. Grouting is a process in which a pumpable material is placed in the ground to achieve specific geotechnical objectives. This standard provides guidelines for the execution, testing, and monitoring of geotechnical grouting work.
The document covers various principles and methods of geotechnical grouting, including displacement grouting (compaction and compensation grouting) and grouting without displacement of the host material (permeation, fissure/contact grouting, bulk filling). However, it excludes specialized grouting activities related to structural and emergency works. It also clarifies that jet grouting work is not covered under this standard and is instead addressed by EN 12716.
