Industrial and Geotechnical Injection Grout School
March 22-23, 2017
Houston, TX
AvantiGrout is ON. Avanti understands how to build Live Learning Events. First, you limit class size. Second, you break the class into smaller work teams. Third, you provide equal parts classroom and hands-on workshops to embed content for life-long skills each participant needs to specialize and become an expert in injection grouting.
For two days, submerge yourself in the following:
* Fundamentals of Grout Chemistry
* Soil Analysis from Sands to Bedrock
* Grouting Underground Structures
* Curtain Grouting
* Lifting Concrete Slabs
* Proven Techniques for Crack Injection
This is NOT your average school. This school focuses on the knowledge you need to make decisions in the field, the technologies and techniques to properly convey product for maximum results, and a common sense approach to problem solving with the injection of acrylic, polyurethane and cementitious grouts.
*Ten (10) PDH credits certified by CIGMAT at the University of Houston will be available to all participants with a certificate given on the final day*
