Abstract
This paper reviews "best of current practice" concepts under four broad categories. The concept of a Quantitatively Engineered Grout Curtain (QECG) is held to be the most responsive level for design purposes and its basic components are described. In rock drilling the principles of Measurement While Drilling (MWD) are reviewed to illustrate how maximum geotechnical benefit can be achieved from every production drill hole. An introduction is provided of contemporary standards for field testing of grouts. Fourthly, the advantages of using Advanced Integrated Analytical (AIA) systems to collect data, monitor progress, keep records and reports, and generate technical analyses are described.
