Panama Canal Soil Stabilization

A non-shrink grout was required to secure the piles to avoid voids that might absorb water in the nail tubes and cause corrosion of the steel. Shrinkage-compensating Type K grout was specified to meet these needs and mixed in ready-mix trucks for the 366-ft.-by-50-ft. project area.
