The process involves injecting a stiff mortar-like grout into the ground to displace and compact the surrounding soil. During injection, the grout displaces the soil and forces the soil grains into tighter packing, expelling air and/or water out of the effected area, and reducing pore volume.

compaction grouting is a reliable methodology for improving the density and strength of the soil. Similar to other grouting technologies, compaction grouting is a technology based on sound engineering principles, not a “black magic” that can only be understood by a chosen few. And, like all other soil improvement techniques, compaction grouting
