Soil treatment
This case study presents the reported condition, the site investigation, and work stages documented in site records and photographs during October 2026.
Project Overview
- Location
- Dammam, Eastern Province
- Building type
- Private residential building
- Scope
- Investigation of settlement indicators, drilling and cement grouting
- Documentation period
- October 2026
Condition at the Start of the Work
The reported observations included varying settlement, cracks, and damage to some finishes and floor elements.
The investigation focused on understanding these conditions and examining the subsurface indicators described in the report to define the scope of treatment work.
Investigation and Assessment
The work included a ground penetrating radar survey along site traverses to examine subsurface indicators.
The technical report described indications of voids or zones of loosened ground. Its recommendations included cement grouting with the aim of filling voids and improving ground properties in the targeted areas.
Treatment Work
The scope included preparing the work areas and protecting surrounding parts of the building, followed by drilling treatment points and carrying out cement grouting in stages.
The daily site records documented drilling and grouting progress. The photographs complement those records by showing site preparation, the drilling rig, preparation of the cement grout mix, and site cleaning.
