Compaction grouting: very low-slump (0–25 mm) cement-sand grout injected under high pressure into loose soil through small-diameter pipes. Grout forms a bulb; does NOT penetrate soil pores (like permeation grouting). Instead, the expanding bulb densifies surrounding soil by displacement. Used for: loose sand, collapsible soils, utility corridor remediation. Controlled by monitoring injection pressure and volume.
