Laboratory of Foundation Treatment

The Foundation Treatment Laboratory has been well equipped with many advanced instruments used for cement tests, chemical tests and modelling tests. A set of new technology of consolidation grouting and protection against seepage has been established. Some special groution materials have been developed, such as: (1)Ultrafine cement, (2) SK-polyurethane, (3)Modified epoxy and VE resins, (4)ACMS, (5) Silicates, (6)Sleeve-pipe method, and (7) Fracture grouting. These research findings have played an important role in many large hydroelectric power projects.
