The Job
This utility relocation included abandonment grouting as part of a VDOT roadway reconstruction and realignment of US Route 1 in Dumfries, Virginia. This Virginia low density cellular concrete job is located in a rapidly growing town in Northern Virginia. US Route 1 is a major local traffic corridor, as well as a bailout route for I-95 congestion.
The Challenge
CJGeo needed to completely fill 1,575LF of pipe, a combination of 54″ & 60″, with grout. Due to sequencing, the pipe was underneath new roadway at the time of abandonment. So, the fewer the number of access points, the better.
The Solution
CJGeo placed 995CY of 25lb/cuft CJFill-Ultra Lightweight cellular grout to completely fill the pipe run. CJGeo placed the material in a single day, from a single access point near the center of the pipe run.
CJGeo dry batch plant.
To facilitate such a large placement of low density cellular concrete in one day, CJGeo used dry batch generation. Dry batch generation mixed water with bulk cement onsite, using a mobile batch plant. CJGeo’s mobile batch plants are designed specifically to generate cellular concrete. They generate preformed foam at the same time as making the cement slurry. The preformed foam and cement slurry pass through an in line mixer, at up to 200CY/hour.
