Listed below are descriptions of some of the projects that CGS has completed.

Main Street at Exton, Foundation Pre-Treatment, Exton, PA
Compaction Grouting Services, Inc. (CGS) pre-treated foundation areas in 11 retail stores located in limestone geology on a lump sum basis. Each retail store was completed on schedule or ahead of schedule. Zero days were lost due to weather conditions. During the project, almost 3000 cubic yards of compaction grout was injected in about 600 grout injection locations. The rock surface was encountered deeper than 100 feet in some locations. We were the only contractor to originally provide a lump sum cost on this project.

 

King of Prussia Mall, Sinkhole Repair, King of Prussia, PA
Compaction Grouting Services, Inc. (CGS) stabilized a sinkhole that opened up adjacent to an underground post tension box culvert that ran below the mall parking lot. Due to the severity of the problem, we worked two shifts five to six days a week to complete the project. We injected grout into the subsurface in about 57 locations adjacent to and through the box culvert. The pipes were installed to depths of up to 90 feet. About 1,200 cubic yards of compaction grout was injected to stabilize the area and re-level the box culvert. We also provided our engineering input throughout the project.

 

PA DOT North Gulf Road Sinkhole Repair, King of Prussia, PA
CGS teamed up with Schnabel Foundation Company to provide emergency sinkhole repair on North Gulf Road. This area had a history of sinkholes and was repetitively repaired. The state chose compaction grouting as the ground modification technique that would repair the sinkholes, reduce the risk of additional sinkhole occurrence, stabilize the soils, lift the settled Abrams Run Bridge and provide support for the bridge foundation.

CGS worked the graveyard shift to minimize traffic congestion (we were able to contain our working area and it was only necessary to close one lane of traffic) and get higher production by increasing working hours. We were able to work through the evenings because we batch our grout in our mobile grout plant. PA DOT, Myers, Schnabel Engineering, Schnabel Foundation, and CGS worked closely together to provide an efficient and effective solution to a chronic problem.

CGS injected about 400 cubic yards of low-slump, low-mobility, compaction grout in about 30 holes. We were able to lift the bridge back close to its original elevation.

 

Crossings II, Upper Macungie Township, PA

Compaction Grouting Services, Inc. utilized compaction grouting for ground modification prior to construction. Injected over 640 cubic yards of grout over 162 locations. The grout was injected in column locations and identified sinkhole locations.
