Overview
EN 12716:2018 - Execution of special geotechnical work: Jet grouting (CEN) sets out general principles for planning, executing and controlling jet grouting works. It explains terminology (e.g. jet grouted element, rig, monitor, nozzle, spoil return, radius of influence), defines jet-grouting systems (single, double, triple) and distinguishes this process from other grouting standards (notably EN 12715). The standard complements Eurocode 7 (EN 1997‑1 / EN 1997‑2) and includes construction, material and quality requirements needed on site.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope and terminology: Definitions for jet grouting processes, element types (sub‑vertical, sub‑horizontal, inclined), and system classifications (single/double/triple).
- Information & planning: Required pre‑execution information such as legal restrictions, site geometry, adjacent structures, access, spoil handling and environmental constraints.
- Geotechnical investigation: Requirements for ground investigation and identification of geotechnical equivalent zones to select uniform jetting parameters.
- Materials and products: Requirements and references for hydraulic binders, cement, water, bentonite, admixtures and reinforcement; complements EN 197‑1 and EN 1008 for cement-related provisions.
- Design considerations: Geometry, strength/deformation characteristics, permeability and detailing of reinforcement where applicable; guidance focuses on construction and supervision aspects.
- Execution: Equipment and rig requirements, drilling and tolerance controls, jetting operations (monitor/nozzle control), spoil management and installation tolerances.
- Quality control & testing: Preliminary tests, supervision and process testing, tests to assess element geometry, mechanical tests (e.g. strength), permeability tests, sampling and sample quality classes.
- Records & documentation: Documents required on site and records to be produced; examples provided in annexes.
- Safety & environment: Site safety, environmental protection and compliance with national/European rules.
Applications and users
Practical uses of the standard include: ground improvement, underpinning, formation of cut‑off walls or seepage barriers, stabilization around excavations, tunnelling and foundation support where jet grouting is appropriate. Primary users:
- Geotechnical and civil engineers (designers)
- Specialist jet‑grouting contractors and site supervisors
- Quality managers and testing/monitoring teams
- Project owners and regulators overseeing ground improvement works
