Grout Made with River Water
Grout Made with River Water
(OP)
I am working on a project where diagonal soil anchors are being used to restrain the top of a steel sheet pile bulkhead along a river. The contractor has asked if he can use water from the river as mix water for the grout which will be used in the soil anchors. We had the water tested, and it has a suspended solids concentration of about 13 ppm.
Has anyone done this before? If so, what are your suggestions?
