This is a descriptive paper which outlines the basic jet grouting methods, and provides examples of their versatile application in applied geotechnical engineering. However, the technique requires the application of concentrated force and could be immensely destructive if incorrectly applied. A cautionary section of this paper is therefore devoted to the control of this force in order to achieve the required results.
