Equipment Customization for Deep Dive Shaft Grouting
A municipal water supply company was building a large water treatment facility situated on the outskirts of New York City. Construction crews encountered a leaking bypass pipe at a depth of 400 feet below the surface between two adjacent deep water supply shafts.
The diving contractor selected Multiurethanes to fill the defective bypass pipe using cement grout. In addition, specialists configured appropriate cement grouting equipment for this underwater grouting project, consisting of a diesel generator, an electrical control panel with variable frequency drives; a colloidal grout mixer, a 400-litre agitator tank, a 2L6 progressive cavity pump, electromagnetic flowmeters, pressure gauges, and high-pressure hoses.
