The Oil and Gas Pipeline Industry

Industrial equipment and piping outdoors near fence.
The Oil and Gas Pipeline Industry

With more than 2.6 million miles of oil and gas pipeline panning America, maintenance is a critical necessity to ensure ground stability and surface safety. Superior Grouting works with industry firms to provide geotechnical and remedial grouting services to the Oil & Gas Pipeline Industry with the most common being Pressure Grouting. Pressure Grouting is the generic name applied to several applications requiring the pumping and injection of any number of variable cementitious grout mixtures. Excavation and removal of underground pipes can be extremely expensive but abandoned pipes often cannot simply be left as is. In fact, in certain cases the law now requires that any abandoned pipe be removed or adequately grouted so that it will not collapse in the future and create voids that could cause settlement of the ground surface, roadways or overlaying structure.

Our Pressure Grouting Solutions

Pressure Grouting is the generic name applied to a number of applications requiring the pumping and injection of any number of variable grout mixtures.  Superior Grouting specializes in Abandonment Pressure Grouting Services.  Excavation and removal of abandoned underground pipes can be extremely expensive and abandoned pipes often cannot simply be left as is. In certain cases, the law now requires that any abandoned pipe be removed or adequately grouted so that it will not collapse and create voids that could cause settlement to the structures above or roadbed.   

The Benefits of Pressure Grouting

Pressure Grouting can help reduce or eliminate several problems such as migration of groundwater and hazardous fluids into the pipe, build-up of explosive gases in the pipe and/or collapse of the pipe, leading to settlement of the overlaying structures caused by the presence of abandoned pipes

Benefits realized when applying Abandonment Grouting solutions:

Highly Flowable 2000 Ft plus

Custom Mix Designs for Sanded Grouts

Custom Mix Designs for Cellular Grouts

Zero Excavation

Cost Effective

Versatile & Fast

Compaction Grouting Solutions

Compaction grouting is a specialized technique for in-situ densification of compactable soft or loose soils. A stiff grout is extruded into a soil mass to form an expanding bulb. Any soil capable of being mechanically compacted can be densified by compaction grouting. Superior Grouting’s equipment, capable of achieving grouting pressures of 1000+ psi, can be operated at distances several hundred feet from the injection site and has the capability of drilling in low overhead tight access work areas.

Benefits realized from Compaction Grouting:

Increased soil strength

Increased load bearing capacity

Reduction in settlement (lower compressibility)

Reduction in the flow of water (water seepage)

Reduction in soil swelling (expansion) and collapse (soil contraction)

Increased soil stability

FAQS

There are many variables to consider such as: diameter of pipe, volume of material required, size of annular/annulus space, degree of inclination, size of staging area for grouting equipment and a number of other factors. Typically, Superior Grouting pumps distances ranging from 100 Lineal Feet to 2,000 Lineal Feet. In some specific applications, we have pumped material over a distance of 5,000 LF (~1 Mile).

There are a number of considerations. One critical factor is there is a limited amount of time to place the material required for any given distance. The number of access points is determined by the diameter of the pipe, length and volume of material.

No – the general contractor prepares the pipe for the grouting procedure by installing the injection/vent pipes, the grout plug and any other requirement necessary for the pressure grouting procedure.
