Civil Engineers Announce Public Comment Period on Compaction Grouting Professional Guideline
Reston, Va. - The American Society of Civil Engineers' Geo-Institute (ASCE/G-I) today announced it will conduct a public comment period on its new compaction grouting guideline. The public comment period will be held from February 20, 2008 through April 7, 2008.
Working with the belief that compaction grouting is a reliable methodology for improving the density and strength of soil, the guideline provides background on specifications, designs and implementation. The guideline covers mechanics and materials, grouting in the field, subsurface investigation for compaction grouting, design and analysis, and verification of grouting effectiveness collection systems and applications.
To participate in the public comment period, contact Phillip Mariscal, ASCE standards administrator, at pmariscal@asce.org or (703) 295-6338. For more information on this standard, or ASCE's standards program, please contact Karen Albers at kalbers@asce.org or (703) 295-6404.
The American Society of Civil Engineers created the Geo-Institute (G-I) in October 1996. G-I is an organization of individual scientists, engineers and technologists who have technical interests in soil, rock and the fluids they contain and who have as a common goal the application of that interest to the improvement of the environment, the mitigation of natural hazards and the economical construction of engineered facilities.
Founded in 1852, the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) represents more than 140,000 civil engineers worldwide and is America's oldest national engineering society. For more information, visit www.asce.org.
