Grouting the nails in between days

killswitchengage · Apr 22, 2021

Hi
Is it faisable to regrout a soil nail thats missing some grout days after it was grouted the first time.

Thank you

Yes, as long as the ungrouted drill hole has not collapsed. You have to fill up the hole some time. The sooner the better.
The bigger question is, "Why wasn't the hole fully grouted to begin with?"

Remember, nail tendons should be inserted and the drill holes should be fully grouted the same day the holes are drilled.
