PREFACE
Grouting is a complex work involving scientific knowledge in geology, hydrogeology,
mechanics and flow properties of materials as well as appropriate machinery. The
development in each field with focus on grouting has reached a fundamental understanding
of the technique. To have functional grouting works, all fields must work together! The
scientific knowledge must also be put into practice and carried out at site, why skilled staff
working in our projects is vital to finally do a good job. The 7th Nordic grouting symposium
follows the tradition to spread high quality knowledge within the Nordic countries and beyond.
The experts within the field of grouting join together this year in the City of Gothenburg,
where it all started in 1992. After this the baton was handed over to Oslo (Norway) 1995,
Espoo (Finland) 1998, Stockholm (Sweden) 2001, Trondheim (Norway) 2006, and latest in
Helsinki (Finland) 2009.
The symposium consists of up to date knowledge within the areas of research,
implementation, demonstration and material science. Both the oral presentations and posters
show a large span of where grouting has played a critical role for succeeding within the
projects goals.
The work of carrying this year’s symposium was managed by the Rock Engineering
Research Foundation – BeFo in Sweden together with the Organising & Scientific Committee
and Advisory Committee consisting of people strongly involved within their companies to
make grouting even more efficient.
We wish that the symposium will lead to fruitful discussions and up-coming ideas. The
contributors being authors of articles published within this proceeding are highly
acknowledged. Without high-level articles the symposium would not have taken place. A
special welcome is directed to the students that have found that the symposium can give
them guidance in their work opportunities to come.
Welcome!
