ABSTRACT
Compaction grouting has been successfully applied to improve subsurface conditions for construction of a building on ground characterised by sub-surface karst features common in dolomitic areas. This paper discusses the method of compaction grouting, the design procedures used and their implementation on site as well as the verification of the procedures with respect to ground improvement. It highlights the combined use of rational and empirical design methods for the purposes of drawing up a grouting programme and estimating of quantities.
