Abstract:
Advancements in grout monitoring and data management have yielded a variety of methods of measuring and assessing data collected in grout curtain installations. However, these systems need not be complicated. Smaller grout curtain activities that may not have the benefit of modern real-time grout monitoring equipment can still use Project Information Management Systems (PIMS) technologies and principles to enable analyses, track and visualize progress, and generate reports and as-built drawings. This paper will present case studies of the applications of a simple PIMS to small grout curtains. The PIMS allows digital entry of key grouting metrics and provides an interactive dashboard and generates automated reports to identify areas with high grout takes, view injection volumes and lugeon in profile, calculate total volumes by hole series and show relationships between these (Primary, Secondary, Tertiary etc.), and more.
