Abstract

Jet grouting is a promising advancement in the field of engineering because of its wide array of applications. It can be applied to a wide variety of soil types. Many countries have already adopted this method of foundation lay-out. However, there are still no studies here in the Philippines on the effectiveness of jet grouting as the method of installing the pile foundations of the recently constructed Lloyd T. Evans Plant Growth Facility in the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI). The construction methodology used for the jet grouting of the pile foundations of the LTE-PGF in IRRI was composed of three general steps: Laying-out of the Grouting Positions, Drilling of Designed Hole, and Jetting of Cement Grout. With this construction methodology, four major problems were encountered during the execution: Breakdown of Equipment, Breakdown of Soil, Grout Volume Measurement, and Material Supply and Delivery. The total cost of jet grouting injected pile foundations was Php 16,275,850.00 while the projected cost for pile driving is Php 14,063,658.00. There is a disparity of Php 2,212,192.00. The computed percent difference is 13.59%.
